Full Body HIIT Workout FAQs

What Are The Benefits Of High Intensity Interval Training?

The major appeal of HIIT Training is its efficiency. HIIT Training maximizes calories burned in a minimal amount of time. It can also reduce heart rate and blood pressure and improve anaerobic and aerobic performance (which improves your overall athletic performance and cardiovascular endurance).

Why Should I Do HIIT With Weights?

Adding weights to your HIIT workout improves muscle tone and builds strength while still getting all the cardiovascular benefits of HIIT training. Best of both worlds!

35-Minute Full Body HIIT (HIITStrong 35, Day 5)

Challenge your strength, power and cardio endurance with these nine full body HIIT exercises at home! 

You only have to do each full body exercise twice, so grab your heavy dumbbells. But be prepared for the 4-minute AMRAP finisher at the end; it’s a full body workout challenge (that will leave you hands on knees).

I suggest adding this full body HIIT workout to your weekly training routine once a week.

Workout Equipment:

A medium-to-heavy pair of dumbbells.

I recommend 8-30 lbs depending on your fitness level. I’m using 15 and 20 lb dumbbells in this workout.

The Goal: The last 2-3 reps of each exercise should feel challenging to complete; that means you chose the right weights.
