There are people that don’t love going to the gym and some that have busy lifestyles. For these people, workouts you can do at your favorite place on your own time are optimal.
Read MoreWe love HIIT (high intensity interval training) workouts because they can they give you the most “bang for your buck”. This means that they challenge you both physically and mentally, stimulate your metabolism so that you burn more calories for a longer of period of time after your workout is over (after burn) and they can be done in a relatively short period of time. 20 – 30 minutes of HIIT is a sufficient amount of time to get in a great interval workout and still get all of the benefits.

Read MoreInterval training has gained a huge amount of steam over the last several years. It may seem complicated but interval training is simply alternating short periods of intense exercise with periods of less intense activity or “active rest” (walking, marching in place or step touching are examples of active rest). Interval workouts are really very easy to incorporate and don’t necessarily include complicated movements either.
