A Morning HIIT Workout That Wakes You up Better Than Coffee
How many times have you promised yourself to get up at 5 AM and get your workout done? Previously, we wrote up a guide to boost your morning motivation. But really, the best way to fulfill a workout is to take action regardless of your mood.
Today’s post is going to be about an HIIT routine that wakes up your mind and body. Without any equipment, you’ll be able to get a good sweat, feel refreshed, and ready to face the day! All you need to do is wake up, start executing these moves… and in a few minutes, you’ll experience the difference. Use this routine in preparation for the auditions.
1. Single Leg Burpee
Regular burpees are already challenging. But if you want more challenge, the single leg burpee is the perfect variation. This move burns 14 calories in 1 minute. The only difference with this exercise is that you stand and hop using one leg all throughout the workout. Do as many reps as you can and be sure to use the same number of reps when you use the other leg.
2. Tuck Jumps
The tuck jumps is an explosive move that targets your core and leg muscles. Start in a standing position with your knees slightly bent. Jump as high as you can while tucking your knees to your chest. Do as many reps as you can without pausing after each jump.
3. Mountain Climbers
30 seconds of the mountain climbers workout boosts your core strength and burn calories. Begin the move in a plank position with your right knee close to your chest and your left leg extended. Switch them up simultaneously as if you are running.
4. High Knees
The move may look so simple but don’t be fooled. This high-intensity exercise gets your heart beating super fast while you activate your core and leg muscles. High knees is a surefire way to improve the strength of your quads so that you run more efficiently.

5. Star Jumps
Also called the “jumping jacks”, this is a popular move that never fails to strengthen the muscles of your shoulders and legs. Stand in a relaxed position with your feet shoulder width apart, and your hands close to your body. Quickly jump as you bring your legs apart and your hands above your head in a quick move. Do the sequence continuously.
6. Flutter Kicks
Targeting the abdominal muscles and thighs, make flutter kicks a part of your HIIT morning workout given that you have a healthy back. Do flutter kicks towards the end of your routine. To start, lie flat on your back with your legs lifted off the ground, fully extended but slightly bent. Next, move your legs up and down. Feel your core and lower body muscles tighten!
