Welcome to Day 3 of the HIIT IT HARD Series!

Today it is upper body and core HIIT! We will work through a series of movements to engage core, along with upper body and ab specific exercises whilst our heart rate is up to challenge our body to maintain correct form through Every Minute On the Minute timing!

This core and upper body workout will require strength, balance, body co-ordination and a lot of explosive power and adapting to go from one exercise straight to another!

A core and upper body HIIT workout will turn your body into a fat burning machine for long after you have finished so is a great workout to incorporate into your routine!

We will be encouraging increases in strength, muscular endurance, improvements on balance, body co-ordination and awareness. With the high intensity aspect, improving our overall leave of fitness!

There are 5 combinations of exercises and each combination is to be performed within 1 minute. Ideally you should be aiming to complete each sequence within 50 seconds max so you have some time to rest! You can definitely reduce the quantity after the first set if the combination is leaving no rest ie. reduce burpees to x 5 rather than x 10 so you can gain some rest and be ready to go again!

The quicker you finish, the more rest you will have!

10 x BURPEES
10 x SIDE PLANK TO PUSH UP

10 x PUSH UP BURPEES
8 x TRICEP PUSH UPS

10 x BURPEE ROLL
10 x STANDING MARCH

10 x TOE TEACH TO HOLLOW
20 x ALT HAND TO FOOT

10 x REVERSE CRUNCH
10 x CRUNCH
20 x HEEL REACHES

If you fancy a finisher, go straight into 10 x burpees!!

Perform on knees for push ups if needed.

If prefer not to jump, simply leave out jump at top of burpees.

Bent at knees or perform alternating leg lowers when lowering and in reverse crunches.

You will need a bottle of water handy and a mat!

Please make sure your form is maintained as best you can... some exercises require a slower pace such as straight leg to hollow and standing match....so just take this part that bit slower.

Please ensure you warm up for at least 5 minutes prior to beginning this workout. My 5 Minute Warm Up Routine: https://youtu.be/_DAM-7Ctxcs
