Just starting your fitness journey? This five-move routine is a great base for newbies who want to ease themselves in gently.
Description
This full-body HIIT workout is perfect for starting your strength and conditioning journey.
HIIT stands for High Intensity Interval Training. HIIT is one of the most popular and effective training methods. Not only does it burn fat; it also challenges your muscles. High-intensity exercise phases (30 seconds) alternate with recovery phases (30 seconds). After each round you can take up to 2 minutes to recover. Repeat the full set of exercises 3-4 times.
If the beginner burpees or the knee push-ups are too easy for you, you can switch them out for basic burpees and classic push-ups. Always make sure that your exercise is clean and controlled and keep your body under tension.
Warm up well before you start training! Have fun with our workout.

Beginner Burpees
This foodspring video shows you how to do beginner burpees correctly. Burpees are a workout for the whole body and are one of the most challenging bodyweight exercises. Beginner burpees are a simplified form of these. They leave out the jump and the plank position. However, this doesn’t make the exercise any less difficult.

Jumping “Rope”
This foodspring video shows you how to jump “rope” correctly. Jumping rope without the actual jumprope! It’s a full-body workout for your muscles, your cardiovascular system and your endurance too. Keep your upper body upright and your arms drawn in close to your body. Use your hands to spin your imaginary “rope” and take a small jump every time it “lands” on the floor. Keep your knees slightly bent.
