30 Day Challenge: Day 26: 23 Minute HIIT



 Hi Everyone!

This is Workout #26 for the 30 Day Challenge! This workout kicked my butt! Make sure you warm up (jog in place, do some walking or jump rope) to get your body ready to work hard. Warming up increases your ability to maximize the effort put out during the workout, and improves the calorie burn. 

This is an intense workout. The breakdown is similar to the breakdown I use in my Boot Camp classes. If you are just starting to build up your endurance and strength, or find that this is to intense you can substitute rest or marching for the high knees between rounds. You can also shorten the intervals. 

HIIT workouts are one of the best ways you can burn fat while maintaining your lean muscle mass. This allows you to keep your shape and strength, while improving your metabolism. 

Today is the last day to enter my Gymboss Interval Timer giveaway! You can enter HERE for a chance to win one of 5 Interval Timers: Gymboss Interval Timer Giveaway!

I hope you enjoy tonight's workout!
Melissa
