HIIT Intervals
A. Lateral Shuffle to Cone - 30 seconds B. High Knee Run - 30 seconds 5 Rounds Perform 30 sec of each movement very hard (1 min total), then rest 1 min very, very easy. Choose a weight and pace that allows you to complete all 5 rounds - you're legs should NOT be burning or producing too much lactic acid. It should definitely be a challenge, but it should be a cardiovascular challenge - not a leg burn challenge. We're aiming for ~90% Heart Rate Max following each round. You can calculate this as 220 - your age x 0.9. You should be able to complete all intervals at the same speed. Record your speed/pace to reference in the future.
