This series of exercises essentially consists of sequences of high-intensity cardio exercises;<\/b> the intention is to do fast, intense and increasingly faster activity, which will improve your ability, while also strengthening your physical capabilities.<\/p>\n-From top to bottom<\/h4>\n
While standing, stretch your whole body, pointing your arms upwards, then quickly bend until your palms touch the floor, and from there throw your legs backwards to do a plank. Then quickly return to the starting position in one movement, and so on for a few seconds. 10 repetitions<\/strong> as fast as you can. You can do more sequences, but allow at least 30 seconds rest between each one.<\/p>\nPractise Hiit \/ Photo: Ayo Ogunseinde<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n-Running in your place<\/h4>\n With typical running-like movements, i.e. swapping your foot, but without moving from your place, and moving your arms as sharply as possible, this is another form of hiit sequence. Do it as fast as you can for 30 seconds, with breaks of the same length.<\/p>\n
-Scissor jumps<\/h4>\n Starting from a standing position, do a quick jump in one movement, until your feet are outstretched and your arms are stretched outwards, as if your body were drawing a star. Then return in one movement to the starting position - you can clap your hands to set the rhythm - but try to keep a few seconds of your body in a single movement. 30 sequences<\/strong>Afterwards, you should also allow a few seconds of rest before starting a new series.<\/p>\n
