Fat Burning Cardio Workouts That You Can Follow Along To

Welcome

Welcome to my 15 Minute Fat Burning HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training) Workouts that you can follow along to.

In these HIIT Workouts you will be completing 3 rounds of Tabata Intervals.

This simply means that you will be completing 20 seconds of a cardio exercise, followed by a 10 second rest period. You will repeat these 20/10 interval 8 times. This will equal one round of Tabata Intervals.

You will then have a one minute rest break before moving on to round 2 and then round 3.

When you have completed all three rounds, this will give you an incredible 15 minute Fat Burning HIIT Workout.

Before you begin your workout, there are a few things you need to be aware of:

  1. WARM UP BEFORE ALL WORKOUTS. You should warm up before all HIIT workouts to ensure your muscles are warmed up and prepared for the workout to come. This will allow you to exercise to the best of your ability (which will help maximize your workout), along with decreasing your chances of injury. Due to this, I recommend that you complete the Beginner Level workout before you attempt any intermediate or advanced workouts so that you are warmed up and ready for more challenging exercises.
  2. LOW-IMPACT: If you require low-impact cardio exercises, please scroll down the page until you see Low-Impact HIIT Workouts. All other workouts include high-impact exercises.
  3. CHANGING EXERCISES: If you can’t do a particular exercise in the workout of your choice, due to injury or any other reason, you can change this exercise for any other body weight cardio exercise that you can do. NOTE: At the very bottom of this page I have added two videos which will give you a selection of other body weight cardio exercises that you can do instead.
  4. EXERCISE AT YOUR LEVEL: Make sure you choose the workout that is most suitable for your current level of fitness. If in doubt, start off at the beginner level and then progress to the next level in difficulty if you find the beginner workout too easy for you or when your fitness level improves.
  5. SKYROCKET YOUR RESULTS: Do you really want to improve your cardio fitness, burn off an incredible amount of calories and see your results skyrocket? If so, then you MUST use my 15 minute workouts to create a 50 minute HIIT workout. Click on “How to Create a 50 Minute HIIT Workout” below to be shown how to do so.

ADDITIONAL NOTES

Please note the following when designing your workout:

  1. Round 1 – Beginner Level: You MUST always complete the Beginner Level for Round 1 so that you can warm up, whilst determining if you are able to increase the difficulty level for the next two rounds.
  2. Rounds 2 and 3 – Choose Your Level: When choosing your level for rounds 2 and 3, you have the option of Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced Workouts, along with Low-Impact Workouts. Therefore, for rounds 2 and 3, you must choose the level most suitable for you.
  3. Cardio Machine Option: If you have access to a cardio machine, such as a treadmill, bike, crosstrainer or rower, you can always complete these interval training workouts on your cardio machine. All you need to do is click on one of my videos and follow the prompts of when to go fast and when to go slow.
  4. Low Impact: If you need to do low impact exercises due to injuries, pelvic floor issues or you just want to keep your workouts gentle, please complete the Low-Impact HIIT workouts OR if you have access to a cardio machine (rower, crosstrainer or bike), you could perform these HIIT workouts on your cardio machine, as described above – this will allow you to really increase your heart rate effectively whilst ensuring the workout is gentle on your joints and body.
