Santa needs a HITT! HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training) is a workout structured to get your heart pumping in a shorter period of time.
When you’re as busy as Santa, making toys, wrapping gifts, and scheduling a Christmas Eve delivery schedule, fitness is probably the last thing on your mind.
But staying healthy during the holiday season is crucial, for Santa and YOU, especially this year. Why not easily boost your immune system by engaging in a short HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training) holiday-themed workout each day for 12 days?
Keep it short, fun-themed, and powerful. You don’t need much equipment, a yoga mat, a medicine ball, a kettlebell, and a set of dumbbells will do.
Jumping jacks or jump squats will begin and end each workout. These exercises are a good way to get your heart rate up at the beginning of your session and to push yourself to failure at the end of the session.
You’ll want to do your last set of jumping jacks or jump squats until failure at the end of each workout. Only take a 30-45 second break in between sets and exercise changes to get the most out of your HIIT workout.
