May's Weekly Fitness Blast with Your Gym Teachers

Ok Everyone...May is here...Join us every morning this week for a fitness blast!

HIIT, or high-intensity interval training, is a training technique in which you give all-out, one hundred percent effort through quick, intense bursts of exercise, followed by short, sometimes active, recovery periods. This type of training gets and keeps your heart rate up and burns more calories in less time.

In our videos, one of us will be doing a modified version of the exercises, one of us will be doing a more intense version. Choose the one that suits you best!

If you add 10 more each day, by the end of day 7 you will have done 350 squats! 

Adding 5 each day will get you to 245 squats!
