Burn it up with five blazing HIIT complexes to fire up your classes, clients, use as a finisher, OR…maybe all together for a sweltering sweat sesh. Don’t forget -- if you’re going to make it rain, remember to have a towel close by for both you and the BOSU^® Balance Trainer -- we always want the dome to be dry. Safety first!

10/10s

Work as hard as you safely can for 10 seconds, then recover for 10 seconds. Complete 10 rounds for just over 3 minutes of metabolism revving!

Exercise: Split Lunges 

• Start in a lunge with both knees flexed approximately 90 degrees
• Jump and switch legs to a lunge on the opposite side
• Lunging lower and jumping higher will increase intensity

MONSTER SET

A “monster set” stacks four or more exercises back to back to back. Perform the four exercises for 30 seconds each. Progress and regress when needed using variables like speed and range of motion. You can regress one or two while progressing the one or two you feel most confident executing. Focus on what you CAN do and capitalize on it! When you’ve completed all four exercises, take 60 seconds off to recover. Repeat for a total of 3 - 5 rounds.
