You're probably sick of hearing about how HIIT workouts burn belly fat, but it's true! ACE-certified trainer John Kersbergen told POPSUGAR that 45-minute sessions three to four times a week are enough to start seeing results.
So here you go: a 45-minute kick-butt HIIT workout. CrossFit coach and owner of Champlain Valley CrossFit Jade Jenny created this workout you can do at any gym. It involves a six-minute HIIT circuit repeated seven times, incorporating 100- and 40-second high-intensity intervals. Aim to push your pace and get in as much work as you can in order to get your heart rate up and build endurance.
After each high-intensity interval, there is a 20-second rest - use it to move to the next exercise. Jade said to focus on quick transitions between exercises, making sure you're getting reps in right at the start of each interval. You'll definitely appreciate the longer one-minute, 20-second rest at the end of each circuit, so you'll be ready to hit your machine hard.
