- High-intensity interval training is the best way to exercise when you want to burn fat. Once you see how fun and challenging HIIT can be, you may never go back to your old cardio ways again.
High-intensity interval training is the best way to exercise when you want to burn fat. Once you see how fun and challenging HIIT can be, you may never go back to your old cardio ways again.
Dreading your next cardio session? Feel like you'd rather work on your taxes than grind it out again on the treadmill? Then ditch your traditional methods of cardio in favor of high-intensity interval training. If you aren't currently doing HIIT, you're missing out on several benefits:
Fast paced? Check!
Torches calories? Check!
Fun to perform? Check!
Effective? Check!
If you really want to enhance these workouts, take a quality pre-workout before you hit the gym, preferably one with L-citrulline, betaine, and beta-alanine. These ingredients will work in your favor to help improve oxygen delivery to the muscles, clear away lactic acid build-up, and help your body tolerate higher volumes of work.

Chances are, when you hit the gym to train weights, you're typically working in a rep range of 8-12, depending on your goals. If strength is what you're after, you're pushing the bar for singles, doubles, and possibly up to 5 reps per set. But when was the last time you did a set of 30? Maybe never?
This workout is designed to raise your heart rate and boost your metabolism, so you torch calories faster and for hours to come. It's also going to train your muscles to keep working despite fatigue so that when you do perform those heavier sets, you'll know how to push through the rough reps and smash your PRs.
To make this workout harder, try to get more reps in for the allotted time period of each exercise. You ideally want to hit 15-20 reps, or higher as you progress, doing about 20-30 reps per minute. When you feel you can't do any more reps in that time, bump up the intervals from 60 to 90 seconds. There is always a way to advance this routine.
Workout 2: Core Annihilation
Tip: Rest 30 sec. between each circuit.
Circuit
2 rounds
2 sets, 10 reps
2 sets, 15-20 reps
2 sets, 10 reps (per side)
Circuit
2 rounds
Alternating High Knee Raise
Running.
2 sets, 50 reps
2 sets, 15-20 reps
Walking Lunges With Twist
Perform with a medicine ball, twisting from side to side.
2 sets, 10 reps (per side)
If you want a ripped midsection, this workout can help deliver it. You'll be making your way through a cardio move, a core exercise, and then a strength move that also works your core.
Fatigued, your abs will have no choice but to grow stronger. Warning: Never let your form slip during this challenge. If it does, pause and then rest for a few seconds before you carry on once again.
This entire workout should take you about 24 minutes. Add a quick warm-up and cool-down, and you'll be in and out of the gym in 30.
Workout 3: Burpee Challenge
Tip: Rest 20-30 sec. if needed.
Circuit
1 set, 10 reps
1 set, 10 reps
1 set, 12 reps
1 set, 12 reps (per leg)
1 set, 14 reps
1 set, 14 reps
1 set, 16 reps
1 set, 16 reps
1 set, 18 reps
Dumbbell Step Ups
Perform with or without dumbbells.
1 set, 18 reps (per leg)
1 set, 20 reps
1 set, 1 min
This one is for those who like it intense. If you can't perform the above two workouts successfully, don't try this one just yet. You're going to alternate between burpees and other bodyweight exercises.
For this particular workout, rest as little as possible between each exercise as you move from one to the next. That said, you probably will need to rest at some point if you are going to maintain proper form. Take 20-30 seconds of downtime as needed and then keep going.
As you improve and become more efficient at this workout, try to reduce how much rest you're taking—this is the primary means of progression with this one. Once you can do that, know you've achieved HIIT greatness!
