The gymboss interval timer is the best timer I have found for doing HIIT workouts. Most of my workouts are done with intervals and so an interval timer is one f the most important pieces of fitness training equipment in my home gym. High intensity interval training (HIIT) has been proved to be the most effective type of training for boosting metabolism and burning fat to help you lose weight quickly, while building muscle and strength. || Read more

This 12 minute Ugi workout is a HIIT workout made up of all Ugi exercises. There are 5 exercises and you go through them in intervals, with the feature exercise – Ugi Cross Core Abs getting repeated. I am always looking for ways to make sit ups more interesting, and I liked the way this exercise works the core and obliques. The Ugi exercises may look easy, but that is only until you actually do them, and then you realize it takes a lot of deeper core strength to balance and keep form, holding onto or supported by that seemingly innocent weighted ball. Each of the exercises in this Ugi workout is a new one for me, or a different variation, and the time went by really fast! || Read more

This skipping workout is made up of 3 time challenge rounds. In each one you alternate a skipping exercise with another fast paced bodyweight exercise. 60 reps of skipping is done before, after and in between each of the fun and diverse full body exercises. This gives you an action packed non-stop great cardio workout and challenge. Each round has 300 reps of skipping and so you end up with 900. Do 100 reps warm up, or afterwards, to make it 1000 reps. If you don’t know how to jump rope, or do not have proper space to do it in, you can alternate mountain climbers, high knees (running on the spot with high knees) or jumping jacks. || Read more
This leg workout routine is designed to shape legs to build glutes as well. This time challenge workout is 10 rounds of 3 bodyweight exercises, featuring jump lunges. Jump lunges are a fantastic plyometric exercise and I think one of the best leg exercises for upper legs, to tighten thighs and butt and to build glutes, quads and other leg muscles. They also help to develop balance and stability. The jump lunges partnered up with squats and burpees will not only build you some great legs, but adds cardio into the mix. This is a great way to get more cardio in and make it fun. But one of the great benefits besides being so healthy, driving oxygen into your body and boosting your cardiovascular system is that it really boosts the metabolism and helps you lose weight so much quicker. Bonus!
