Pool HIIT Workout

Winter might be coming but indoor pools are great Way to get a high-intensity workout without all of the impact.

There are plenty of moves like high knees, butt kicks, squats, lunges and so much more that you can do to get a great workout in the pool especially in shallow water.

Cardio might not be your favorite though, which is why I created this workout. It only takes 30 minutes and you’re done!
