TRAINING ROUTINE: Start the day with this 15-minute HIIT routine to speed up your metabolism

Starting the day with a training routine is one of the best things you can do, as it helps you

lose more weight, it takes away your hunger, fights the heat, activates you and improves sleep. Of course, generally, in the morning we have less time, since most of us work at that time, but surely you can get

15 minutes before taking a shower to activate your body.

For this, nothing better than HIIT (Elsa Pataky already says it), since it is

fast, intense and burns more calories than any other discipline. Of course, since these are short routines, you must give everything in training to get the most out of it, you cannot do it at half throttle.

15 minute HIIT workout to start the day

The idea of ​​HIIT training is to exert yourself at the highest intensity for short periods of time followed by rest periods. In this particular workout, we will do each exercise to the

full power for 40 seconds followed by 20 seconds of rest and we will repeat the routine five times, thus performing five rounds of the circuit of three exercises.

Of course, try to perform as many repetitions as possible in those 40 seconds of work and try to keep those repetitions the same during the five rounds, do not give it your all in the first and then do not reach the last. The three exercises that make up this routine are:

jumping jacks, squats and burpees.

Jumping Jacks

Jumping jacks is an ideal exercise to start any training routine, since it allows you to

raise the pulsations and prepare for what is to come without involving the use of any type of material and without leaving the site, with which you can do it comfortably from your home.

How they are made: part of the standing position, with the legs together and the arms extended and glued to both sides of the body. From this position, jump up, landing on the balls of your feet, knees slightly bent, legs spread, arms above your head. With another jump, he returns to the starting position.

squats

The squats is one of the most basic exercises in any training routine since it works the

large muscle groups of the body: legs, buttocks and all the muscles of the core (abdominals, lower back, pelvis and the deep muscles of the spine).

How they are made: Start from a standing position with your legs hip-width apart and your knees and toes pointed forward. Keeping your back as straight as possible, bend your knees to at least 90 degrees and push your feet off the floor to come back up, extending both hips and knees.

burpees

Burpees are a very complete exercise in which you work

strength, stamina and coordination. When doing it, most of the muscles of the body are involved and it strengthens the pectorals, triceps, shoulders, quadriceps, hamstrings, twins, abdominals and glutes. This exercise combines a

squata

flexion and a

vertical jump in a fluid movement that links each of the parts.

How they are made: Start from a standing position with your legs hip-width apart and squat all the way down to allow you to rest your hands on the floor in front of your body. Once supported, take a small jump with your legs back to stretch them and get into a front plank position.
