This Ugi workout mixes Ugi exercises with bodyweight exercises and even includes the sandbag. If you don’t have one, no worries. You can use your Ugi for these too. It has 3 parts of interval training. The good news is that the times are reduced for each part, so it keeps getting easier as you go.  There are mountain climbers at the start and between each round to boost your heart rate, and up the effectiveness of the HIIT exercises. This Ugi workout is just over 20 minutes, but time goes by fast! You’ll see. This is a fun one!
