Crush Your Week With These 5 Bodyweight HIIT Workouts

BY The Spartan Editors

This week, Spartan SGX Coach Heather Binns is bringing you five bodyweight HIIT workouts with intense work periods.

Binns recommends doing a five to 10-minute warm-up before completing each of these total-body workouts for two rounds or more. Give it all you've got during your work period, and take deep breaths throughout your rest for maximum results. Finish each day with a five to 10-minute cool down. No equipment is required — your bodyweight is the perfect resistance needed to crush these workouts.

Complete this week's workouts to crush every day, get your mind right, stay focused, and maintain good form. Solid work trumps rep count for these bodyweight movements.
