HIIT can be done almost anywhere with any piece of equipment—or without any equipment at all! Although it can be, HIIT does not have to be done on gym cardio equipment. The possibilities are virtually limitless. You can use it with a jump rope, with weights, with resistance bands, with your own body weight… Tabata training is even a form of HIIT.
The following program can take you from HIIT beginner to HIIT superstar in 8 short weeks.
The suggested time of each phase is just that—suggested. If you need to spend more than two weeks at a particular phase before moving up, go for it. Ditto if a phase seems too easy and you want to jump right up to the next phase.
Increase the intensity by adjusting your body position to increase or decrease the resistance. Remember, you want resistance because resistance builds muscle, and muscle burns calories! The more muscle you have, the more calories you will burn.
