Give HIIT a go

Nine of us headed to Vicky Park for a moderately energetic HIIT session (MITT?) on a lovely summer evening.

After a short warm up, we did some loosely themed tabata exercises (20 seconds on, 10 seconds rest) cycling through each of the following sets 3 times:

Cardio: High knees, mountain climbers, butt kickers.

Core: planks, Russian twists, leg raises.

Legs: Glute bridges, skaters, lunges.

After all that we put the tabata timer away and exercised our upper bodies with a competitive last-person-standing Raise The Roof set.

This consists of:

• 4 arm raises
• 4 pushups
• Then repeating, but adding 4 arm raises each time (8, 12, 16, etc) until nobody can do any more!

Our leader board currently stands at:

40 - Jane & Aaron

To finish up, Rachel and Aaron showed us some stretches to warm down with.
