The simplest way to create a HIIT workout is to take 5 exercises of varying levels of difficulty and repeat each for a minute and rest after each cycle. For example:
Do each exercise for 1 minute; repeat 5 times, 1 minute rest at the end of each cycle:
- Plyometric Split Lunges
- High Knees
- Bodyweight Squats
- Jump Rope
- Battle Ropes

If you prefer to do your HIIT workout on the elliptical machine try setting your workout for 30 minutes. Go at a moderate pace for one minute, followed by a sprint pace for 30 seconds. Repeat until you’ve completed the desired time and then cool down for two minutes.
