CHARLOTTE, N.C. — If you ate one too many chocolate easter bunnies and are feeling down help is on the way! Trainer Darius Avery joined us Thursday from Planet Fitness with a quick HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) workout. The Planet Fitness Easter workout is a HIIT workout that can be done in-studio or at a Planet Fitness location.
We have 3 exercises to help you get moving and get your heart rate up. HIIT Training is popular because you're not only losing weight but maintaining fitness and health. HIIT workouts are also known to help relieve the stress and anxiety we face. All the exercises can be done for 30 seconds with a 15 second respite in between.
Here are the exercises:
Exercise 1: Dumbbell Squats Overhead Press - Grab your manageable set of dumbbells, place them at shoulder level, with elbows tucked at your waist. Squat down and on the way up press the dumbbells to the sky. Repeat this exe4rcise for 30 seconds or you can do 10 – 15 repetitions.
Exercise 2: Mountain Climbers – get into a plank position and drive one knee at a time towards your chest. Alternate knees. It’s important to develop a good rhythm. Repeat for 30 seconds.
Exercise 3: Dumbbell Row Push Ups – put the weights in hand, and get down in a push up position. Drop your chest to the ground push up and row the weight to the arm pit. Alternate sides with each push up.
