SJ’s HIIT Bodyweight Workout for both Women and MenBy now, you may be familiar with HIIT workouts due to its reputation on burning fat and building strength. For those who aren’t exactly sure what HIIT training is, it’s a type of cardio training in which you alternate short, very high intensity intervals with longer, slower intervals to recover.The most convenient thing about this form of training is you don’t need a gym or even gym equipment. A typical HIIT workout usually lasts about 20-30 minutes and involves a 2:1 ratio, meaning your recovery intervals are twice as long as the work intervals. For anyone looking to get in shape, burn fat and build strength, HIIT training is a must!I have created an intense training session that can be done at home, outside or at the gym.There are 7 exercises, each done for a full 60 seconds with a 20 second low intensity interval in between (during those rest intervals you will keep moving by marching in place).1- Burpees – 60 sec – REST 20 seconds2- Knee highs- 60 seconds – REST 20 seconds3- Lateral Jumps- 60 seconds – REST 20 seconds4- Pushups- 60 seconds – REST 20 seconds5- Bodyweight squats – REST 20 seconds6- Full sit ups- 60 seconds – REST 20 seconds7- Lateral Shuffles- 60 seconds – Rest for 3 min and REPEAT x2You can also end this intense workout with a 15 min interval workout on the treadmill, elliptical, bike, jump rope or outside by doing the following:20 second maximum effort, 60 rest/recover period. Repeat until the 15 min is up.Now, you will be working hard on your HIIT workouts but you need to work just as hard in the kitchen.

This is a bodyweight only Tabata Training for figure competition so it can be easily done at home or outdoors! This workout is 45 minutes long but feel free to cut in in half if you want to use it as your HIIT cardio for after your weight training workout! You many also need to condition yourself if you are not used to this type of training so it may take you a bit longer.

I don’t eat breakfast, I workout on a “empty” stomach, and my first meal starts around 2pm — would you believe I’m trying to gain muscle?Growing up, I rarely ate breakfast, much to the dismay of… well, everyone. You see, it’s generally accepted that eating a balanced breakfast is a staple of a healthy diet and, more importantly, crucial in nailing standardized tests. As I grew older and wiser, a big, tasty breakfast became a key in my diet and eventual weight gain.Once I hit the weight I wanted to maintain, however, I started looking for ways to improve my body composition without sacrificing strength gains and too much thinking.Enter the Leangains DietThe Leangains Diet, created by Martin Berkhan, is an intermittent fasting protocol that uses a 16-hour fast and a 8-hour feeding window that ideally begins after your workout.
