Runner's HIIT Routine

It has been a LONG time since I posted an original workout. I found a YouTube channel called Fitness Blender and they post AWESOME workouts. So that I've just been doing one or two of their workouts a week. I also found a great channel called Millionaire Hoy, however, due to personal reasons, he quit YouTube. I was sad, but I 100% respect his decision to take care of himself and his family. That is what is most important.

If you take a look at both of these channels, you will see that I have incorporated movements from both as well as my own to create my own dynamic workout. I call this a Runner's HIIT Routine because there is a LOT of running involved. Most exercises involve some type of high knees, butt kick, or skip. It really gets your heart pumping to give you a great cardiovascular workout. I like to do this one on my cross training days, or if for some reason I can't get out on a run because if I push myself really hard, I kind of feel like a did a speed training run after.

Because this HIIT routine is more focused on cardio. There is no equipment required. You also don't need a lot of space. My space I workout in is about 8 or 9 feet x 6 or 7 feet. And there is usually a toddler and/or an infant in it. And various toys. Working out with children sure keeps me on my toes.

**Remember, all of these workouts can be adapted to be low impact by removing the jumps or doing each move more slowly. Just listen to your body and do what is best for you. I am still adapting my planks, push ups, and mountain climbers because I am still healing my abdominal muscles because I have diastasis recti from being pregnant. (I carry my boys really high and like a basketball, not elongated like most women, so I don't stand a chance to not rip in half.)**
