The 17-Minute Workout
Slide 2 of 11
Even if you’re not a workout buff, you’ve probably heard of HIIT workouts — aka high-intensity interval training. It’s comprised of quick bursts of activity followed by short recovery periods. HIIT is the workout du jour for a number of reasons. But in today’s busy world, the most appealing one is that it’s seriously efficient, with each workout delivering the benefits of cardio and strength training in a shorter session. See for yourself with this 17-minute, full-body workout from Farouk Houssein, an instructor at The Fhitting Room in New York City.
HOW TO DO THIS WORKOUT
First, you’ll do five rounds of eight reps of each of the first five exercises. Because the workout is for time (doing as many rounds as you can under a set amount of time), the times of completion can vary per person, however, the goal is to not exceed 10 minutes. “It’s a race against the clock,” says Houssein. Then you’ll take a two-minute break before the second part. During that portion, you’ll set a timer for seven minutes and complete as many rounds of the second three exercises as you can, performing 10 reps of each.
