Desi Johnson absolutely adores her High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) workouts! They provide an excellent opportunity to shake up her fitness routine while also being incredibly efficient, allowing her to achieve a great workout in a shorter amount of time.
She caption the post “Incorporating these sessions can add variety into your workout and can also be structured as a quicker session. When ever I feel I need to get a session done fast or I’m looking for a sweat out, these sessions are the go!
Try to get through with minimal rest & tag me if you try it out 🤍✨🏋🏽♀️”
For this particular routine, Desi recommends aiming for 4 rounds to really maximize the benefits. Start off with 1 minute on the ski erg, which is fantastic for getting the heart rate up and engaging multiple muscle groups. After that, transition into 10 reverse lunges on each leg, a great way to build strength and stability in the lower body. Next, grab some dumbbells for 15 thrusters, a compound movement that combines a squat and an overhead press, effectively working both the legs and shoulders.
Once you’ve completed the thrusters, it’s time to hop on the assault bike and burn off 10 calories. This machine is perfect for a high-intensity cardio burst that will really get your blood pumping. Following the bike, move on to 30 Russian twists to engage your core and improve your rotational strength, and then tackle 30 mountain climbers to elevate your heart rate and work on your agility.
To wrap up this intense circuit, finish with a weighted sled push for 10-15 meters. This exercise is excellent for building power and strength in the legs while also providing a great cardiovascular challenge. Throughout the entire routine, Desi emphasizes the importance of keeping rest periods to a minimum to maintain that high intensity and maximize the workout’s effectiveness.
