20-Minute Full Body HIIT Sculpt

Equipment: Weighted Objects (water bottles, dumbbells, household objects)
Format: Perform each move for 0:30 and repeat for 3 rounds

Circuit

Move 1: Squat to Press

• Begin standing with your feet about hip distance apart, with your core engaged, holding a weighted object in each hand at your shoulders.
• Begin sending your hips back behind you with your weight back in your heels, knees tracking in line with your toes and ensure your chest is upright and your core is engaged.
• Power through your heels and posterior chain to return to standing and as you stand, press the weights straight up overhead (be sure to keep your rib cage down and core engaged and to not arch your back).
• Bring your arms back down to starting position and repeat from the squat.
• MOD: Squat down to a couch or chair.

Move 2: Mountain Climbers

• Begin in a tall plank position with your shoulders stacked over your hands, core engaged, and back flat.
• Keeping your hips down, run your knees into your chest and back out by pulling each knee in as far as you can and then back out, one at a time.
• MOD: Do this move on an elevated surface by placing your hand on the edge of a couch or table.

Move 3: Sit Up Cross Punch

• Lie on your back with your knees bent, feet on the ground and lower back pressed gently into the mat.
• Use your abdominals to sit yourself up and punch your arms one at a time across your body.
• Lower yourself back down with control until you are back in your starting position and repeat.

Move 4: Super Mario’s Lunges (left)

• • Begin standing with your feet hip-width apart and core engaged.

  • Power through your front heel and drive your back knee up to your chest while reaching your left arm up to the sky to come to standing.
  • MOD: Take out the jump and work on a high knee drive without the jump.

• Begin standing with your core engaged and left arm raised.
• While balancing on the right leg, drive the left elbow and knee together for an oblique crunch and then tap your toe back to the ground and repeat.
