Rookie Home Body HIIT #1 Full Body

Hey there everybody,

This is the first workout in the Rookie series.

This series is for those of you complete, complete beginners who have the will to change their lives and get into better shape, but are not familiar with the exercises that we are doing and struggle much more with memorizing them (especially when we switch faster between the exercises or combine them) than with the actual execution. And instead of fun, the workouts turn into unpleasant battle, frustration and eventually giving up.

Also, not being familiar with the exercises, most often leads to in-properer execution and decreases the benefits of them, and much more important- may lead to a pain or even an injury.

That’s why in this series we will concentrate on effective but simple exercises, will learn the way we should execute them, and will get prepared for the next level of working out. However, don’t believe that this will be some kind of “sweatless” series. Not at all 🙂

This workout is part of the Rookie HIIT series. There are few important things that you all rookies 🙂 should know, before you jump into the workout.

HIIT stands for High Intensity Interval Training. This means that the workout contains two interval types- work and rest interval. During the “work interval”, we are going to repeat one and the same exercise, over and over again, till the interval is up. “Rest interval” we will use to recover and basically … just rest 🙂

HIIT allows you to control the intensity of the workout by pupping less or more effort in it. This means that you control the speed with which the exercises will be executed. You don’t have to do as many reps as I do. Do it with your own pace and if you feel like my tempo is too fast- slow down, or if you can go faster than me- speed it up.

Remember, during the “work interval”, we are going for maximum repetitions BUT done with a perfect form 😉

Keep in mind that at the beginning of the workout, you will be more energized, and fresh and it will be easier to do more reps. However, I do recommend you to try to keep the same pace during the workout, instead of starting too fast.

More often, we will do several rounds, which means that we are going to repeat a bunch of exercises several times. I do recommend you after each “work interval”, to write done your score, and compare the reps you did in the different rounds for the same exercise. The goal is to have the same reps for all the intervals 🙂

So, no more talking 🙂

Get ready, warm up and lets start 🙂

Enjoy!
