HIIT

HIIT, or High Intensity Interval Training, is one of most effective workouts for burning fat. Intervals of high intensity training followed by short periods of rest and recovery will elevate your heart rate, making you break a sweat as you burn fat and build muscle. HIIT workouts generally last between 10 and 30 minutes and can be easily squeezed into the busiest routines. What’s more? Unlike some cardio exercises, you’ll continue to burn calories even after you’ve finished your workout. Bonus!

Out and about

Fed up the same four walls? We feel you. While social distancing means gym classes and running clubs are off the list, there’s nothing stopping you from going solo. A run in the forest, a bike ride around the park, a stroll on the beach, there are plenty of ways you can adhere to government guidelines beyond your home. Just make sure your trips are solitary and somewhere spacious. Headphones and good playlist make great company.
