Also known as high-intensity interval training (HIIT), intervals are a method where you push your body to the max for a short burst — usually between 10 to 30 seconds (although it can be longer). Then, you rest briefly so you can recharge and catch your breath until it’s time to do another burst of high-intensity exercise.
1. Sprints
Sprints may be one of the most excellent interval exercises worldwide — few things train every part of your body like a properly done sprint. Only issue is they’re not for novices. If you have experience with running or sprinting, then feel free to add these into your workout.
2. Mountain Climbers
Need a killer, boot-camp interval workout that requires no equipment? Mountain climbers are a great choice. They get the heart rate going and allow people to break a sweat anywhere they want.
3. Airdyne Bike
Undoubtedly, this could be the best HIIT exercise equipment in any gym. The reason is because you can use both the upper and lower body smoothly to push against resistance, and the harder you push, the harder it pushes back for even more difficulty.
4. Kettlebell Swing
Swings are good for HIIT because they are easy to do repeatedly and fast, making it an intense killer workout. They also target the muscles around your hips and train good movement patterns as to keep you safe and healthy.
5. Battle ropes
Ropes are one of the very few interval exercises that work on your upper body, which is great to keep your body balanced (or if you do sports with lots of upper body movement). Even better, they’re really easy to use and super gentle on your body.
