I am sure that most of you are familiar with the concept of HIIT.
High Intensity Interval Workouts.
HIIT is a short period of training at a “very hard level”, followed by a short period of rest and recovery, repeated for 8 – 30 minutes. (depending on your fitness level)

Here is your step by step guide…
- Walk to the park or oval (for your warm-up)
- Put down 2 markers to measure out 50 metres (longer if you are fitter)
- Set a timer. Let’s say 10 minutes to start with
- Run / sprint that distance as fast as your fitness level will allow (safely)
- Rest and catch your breath until you feel like you are ready to give it your all again
- Repeat until the 10 minute timer goes off. Don’t forget to count and record the number of laps you did.
- Aim to beat your own score each consecutive time you do this workout. (Every 2nd or 3rd day would be good)
- Finish by walking back home and stretching
