HIIT Moves You Can Do While Dinner Cooks
Are you someone who’s always on the go, looking for ways to squeeze in a quick and effective workout? We thought so! Keeping up your fitness while managing your daily routine doesn’t need to be hard. Enter the world of High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT). These work-outs can be done while you’re preparing a meal, and we’ve got a few moves that you can do while your dinner cooks! It’s a no-fuss, fun way to keep up with your fitness goals.
Jumping Jacks
Don’t underestimate this effective aerobic workout. Simply start by standing upright with your legs slightly apart. Jump up as if you’re being stretched on a rack, raising your arms and spreading your legs. One set of jumping jacks can last between 30 to 60 seconds, depending on your comfort. Try a few sets to get your spare time started on a fiery note!
High Knees
Too easy? Try high knees. Stand upright, pull up your right knee towards your chest and then switch to the left knee. Do this in quick succession. As you do this, move your hands like you’re jogging on the spot. Not only will you catch a breather, but you’ll also engage your leg muscles!
Burpees
If you’re feeling brave, you can also introduce some burpees into your routine. Start from a standing position, swiftly move into a squat, kick back your feet into a plank position, return to a squat, and finally stand back up. Try a few sets, but remember – it’s all about how comfortable it feels for you. Always remember to take it at your own pace.
Mountain Climbers
Feeling like Rocky yet? To rock the mountain climbers, start in a plank. Rapidly pull one knee up to your chest, then the other, and continue alternating. Besides being a full-body workout, mountain climbers are great to get the heart pumping before your meal is served.
