Sometimes busy schedules, work, family commitments and travel means we are unable to get to the gym as much as we would like. ISC Gym does not want that to deter people from improving their strength, fitness and health.
High intensity interval training is an incredibly popular form of training which requires you to work hard for short periods of time, with intermittent rest periods. It’s the ideal method to help improve fitness when ‘life’ is getting in the way.
ISC Gym has put together a group of high intensity circuits which do not need a gym to perform. The circuits are ideal to perform alongside other strength-based workouts or as stand-alone cardio sessions.
Improve cardiovascular fitness
Increase work capacity
Minimal equipment
Short, sharp, varied workouts
Mobility routines
Additional core circuits
Our HIIT at Home programme requires minimal equipment, and it ideal for those of us with busy schedules. All you need is a bit of music, some space and be ready to work hard. Workout 4 x per week or spread the sessions over a longer period of time to add variety to your exercise routine.
