Home HIT Workout
Practice HIT On Your Own
Due to popular demand here is a home HIT workout just for you. These workouts are amazing and very effective full body workouts. All my workouts are complete and if followed correctly are very safe and bring results. Please only follow this at home if you have been to my classes regularly and know how to do all these exercises correctly. Do not follow if you are unfamiliar with my classes, have injuries, are pregnant or are new to exercise. If you would like to join my HIT class you can book online for the following times and locations:
Yellowave (299 Madeira Drive) Wednesdays 7.00-7.45pm
The Studio (39 Whippingham Road) Saturdays 8.15-9.00am
Below I have listed the HIT section (main section of the workout only). Please use the first 3 tracks below to fully warm up.
Your warm up should include: arm circles, shoulder rolls, hips rolls, side bends, sun salutations (mobility). Warming up each muscle in your body: gentle squats, lunges, press ups (knees down). Don’t go crazy here. Also get your heart rate up: high knees, heel kicks, jumping jacks. Once you have done all this you are ready for your HIT. If you unsure, come to class again and make sure you know what to do here :).
