Wednesday's Wild/Warrior Workout -- HIIT (33:44 seconds to death)

Today's crazy workout comes from another new channel I found on YouTube called D180Fitness.


It is an intense HIIT (high intensity interval training) workout that first takes you through 6 exercises (push ups, jump squats, mountain climbers, jump lunges, burpees and glute busters) with no rest time in between for 2 rounds.

Secondly, you will go into a ladder workout with burpees (without push ups), dive bombers and jump lunges starting with 10 reps down to 1.  This is a time challenge, getting as far as you can in 3-1/2 minutes.

From here you will have three 1 minute circuits.  First, you will have 3 different upper body exercises (bear crawls, cross climbers and in/out push-ups) performing each 5 times for a total of 1 minute.  Then 3 different lower body exercises (glute busters, in/out squats and criss cross squats) are done the same way but 10 reps of each for 1 minute.  The next 3 exercises (side to side squats, burpees with a spin jump and pendulum swings) are back to 5 reps each.  These 3 circuits are repeated again with only a 10 second rest in between (take more time if you need it).

Finally, it ends with a squat challenge, 30 seconds of squats and then he slows the squats down for a bit and you finish up with another 30 seconds of squats.  WHEW!!!

It is challenging--c'mon, it's not called 33:44 to death because it's easy!!!

There is no warm up or cool down.  Please do those on your own.  If you don't want to jump, just pop up onto the balls of your feet.  If you have knee issues, do not take the knees past 90 degrees on the squats. Do the highest level of each exercise that you can with great form.  This workout is meant to exhaust you.
