Today I did the HIIT workout. I'm really proud of myself for not eating unhealthily today but I still think that I should have drank more water today. The HIIT workout consists of these 15 exercises.
- Windmill
- Squat punch
- Slow crunch
- Ballet half kick
- Inch worm
- Legs only ab bike
- High plank to down dog
- Front lunge
- Plank
- Standing ab bike
- Leg drop
- Arm and leg raise
- Walking burpees
- Legs flutter
- Shoulder tap and thigh tap
I can feel how much progress I've made with this workout as I feel so much more strong and able to do each exercise. I still want to carry on with it because I can't make it through the entire workout without stopping. I could tell that I'm a lot fitter now as I was so much faster at the walking burpees. What I like about this workout is that once I'm confident in one of the exercises I might adapt it to fit my needs, so I might do the bicycle crunches instead of the legs only ab bike or do leg raises rather than leg drop. I think next time I will incorporate some of these. After the workout I followed a 10 min full body stretch and cool down video. This consisted of 20 stretches targeting all muscles:
- Sky reach and toe touch
- Neck
- Triceps
- Shoulders
- Chest
- Quads
- Calves
- Forward bend
- Hip flexor
- Wrists
- Cat and cow
- Abs
- Shoulder rollover
- Hamstrings
- Butterfly
- Body twist
- Knee to chest
- Glutes
- Happy baby
- Child's pose
This felt so good to stretch out all of the muscles that got tense and contracted during the HIIT workout. I felt a lot more relaxed afterwards as well as strong.
