H.I.I.T. Workout

Those of you who were at DCS last year may remember the exercise circuit we did during our fitness unit. H.I.I.T. stands for High Intensity Interval Training and this was the model that we used to help you experience a full body workout using little to no equipment.

I've added a link to a pdf document with the exercises we did during class. This would be a great workout for you to use even if you have to modify the exercises a little. Also, if you are looking for more of a challenge you can increase the work ratio or add exercises to the workout routine.
