Catch Me if You Can HIIT Workout
2013
This 12 minute HIIT workout is made up of 8 fun fast and dynamic exercises. The object is to go through each one doing as many reps as you can in the work period, just taking 10 seconds between each one to write down your reps. Go through each of the exercises 2 times. Go as fast as you can and do as many reps as you can but always keep in mind that form is more important than speed. The cardio will get your heart rate up and make this workout a great fat blaster. Keeping track of your reps not only gives you incentive to push hard and do as many as you can, but also if you do this workout again you can measure your progress against these numbers. It’s always amazing to see how quickly your strength increases and progress improves when you consistently do these bodyweight exercises.

From standing position step right foot further out to the right side and do a side lunge, the right (outer) leg is bent and your left leg stays straight, and touch down to the corner of the right side of your mat, then come back to center and hop out in opposite direction to the left, do a side lunge with the left leg and reach down to touch the left side of your mat. Moving quickly, return to center and to the right again into a side lunge, and continue alternating sides and touching down to the opposite corner of mat for each rep.
Get into high plank (push up) position, then bring one leg in towards chest, bending knee and with foot on ground; this is your start position. Simultaneously jump the bent forward leg back and the back leg forward alternating and jumping legs back and forth while keeping torso of body as straight as possible while performing these movements. Each time a leg jumps forward counts as one rep.
Lie on mat with hands behind head, rotate to the left as you bring in the left knee, while bringing in the right elbow towards it, then switch sides rotating to the right and bringing in the right knee and the left elbow to meet it, as the left leg straightens out, continue alternating sides
Start standing with legs together, then take a step out to the right and squat down and then step back to start position and repeat on other side; step out on left side, squat and return. Continue alternating sides with each rep.
Start in high plank position and jump both legs together at once to one side, just below one hand, and then back, next jump both legs to opposite side close to same side hand and back, 3rd point jump is same as a ½ burpee, jumping both feet forward and then back.
Lie halfway between being on your back and on your side, use the forearm of your bottom arm for support and have knees slightly bent. Crunch lifting your torso up and bringing your knees in towards torso, then go back to start position and roll over to opposite side and do a side crunch, roll back to start position and do a crunch, then repeat alternating doing crunches on left and right sides. Each crunch is 1 rep.
Start standing on the ground or on your mat, just above the center of it with your legs staggered, one leg up higher than the other and in a wide leg stance turned a little to the side, squat down and touch the ground, pulse in this position and then jump switching legs so that the behind one is forward and the forward foot back and touch down and pulse again, then jump back to start position and continue doing these movements alternating jumping and squatting, alternating facing to the right and left sides for each rep.

Then bring your arms back up overhead and leg back to ground. Repeat with the other leg and then continue alternating legs for each rep.
