Need a fast energy boost? Whether you’re on the run or chilling in your own home, it’s easy to squeeze in this workout. Within the video, Simone De La Rue, creator of Body By Simone, shows us how you can develop a confidence-boosting HIIT routine in only 10 minutes. You just need a yoga mat, towel, or blanket and you are ready to get started. Follow along by watching the recording, or see below for descriptions of her five go-to exercises.
Get right into a perfect squat position, the knees over your ankles. Hop forward twice, until you get to the other end of the mat, after which walk in four counts.
This involves an explosive movement, while you leap from one side from the mat to another. Land together with your knees over your toes, and tap the mat. For a modified version, you can easily step and tap without the high-impact leap.
Come down to a plank and ensure your booty is tucked under, elbows are slightly bent, shoulders over wrists. Advance outside your hands inside a deep lunge, and bring your leg back to center. For a more challenging version, go ahead and take opposite arm off the floor and forward as you undertake this exercise.
Place your feet together away from mat and crouch down, arms on the ground. Kick your legs up and over to the other side from the mat, ensuring you stabilize and hold prior to bringing your legs down. For a modification, break up with two hops to get your legs over to the other side.
With your ankles under knees and knees under hips, jump up and down right into a plank (like the start of a conventional burpee). Hop your feet forward toward your wrists and are available up. Rotate the body just like a tornado, then change direction.
The goal here is to complete 10 reps of each exercise, and three rounds of the set. If you’re looking for a speedy way to pump your energy and alertness, this is the routine for you personally.
