Do you want to achieve your health goals this new year? If yes, then we are here to cheer you on, keep you motivated, help you get started and build the habit of staying fit<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

We are all aware of the importance of physical activity<\/strong> and exercise but most of us don\u2019t find time to workout during our hectic lives. If this is a reason you commonly use to avoid exercising, then High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) is perfect for you. A HIIT workout involves short periods of intense aerobic exercises<\/strong> with quick recovery periods.<\/p>\n

Exercise 1: Sidestep<\/strong><\/p>\n

Begin the workout by taking sideward steps in quick succession for 15 seconds. Remember to keep your ab muscles tight, shoulders down and knees soft.<\/p>\n

Exercise 2: Power March<\/strong><\/p>\n

Next up is the Power March on the spot for 10 seconds. Lift your knees up and swing your hands to get the benefits of a brisk walk.<\/p>\n

Exercise 3: Side Squats<\/strong><\/p>\n

Side squats or wide-leg squats help build strength in the lower body. Spread your legs and bend your knees outwards when you squat but keep your back straight. Continue this exercise for 15-20 seconds.<\/p>\n

Follow this exercise with a power march of another 10 seconds.<\/p>\n

Exercise 4: Criss Cross<\/strong><\/p>\n

Walk on the spot making quick steps in a criss-cross motion. This 15-20 second exercise is an exercise for the whole body. Remember to keep your knees soft with every step and breathe regularly.<\/p>\n

This high-intensity workout is described as a \u2018cardio blast\u2019 by fitness expert Shalini Bhargava<\/strong>. You must remember to stop or take a break if you feel too much of a strain.<\/p>\n
