8 Shot Roulette (HIIT)

This is a fun workout to do during this or any other time you are stuck in small spaces. It is even more fun with a partner/s. It can be adapted to fit into 15 – 60 minutes

Preparation

• Write down 8 exercises for you or your partner to perform. Fold the papers and place the exercises in a box/hat for each of you.
  • 2 Cardio (Burpees, Star Jumps, Jumping Jacks, Mountain Climber…)
  • 2 Upper Body (Push Up, Crab Touch, Spiderman, Shoulder Press Jack…)
  • 2 Lower Body (Squats, Jump Squats, Squat Pedal, Jumping Lunges…)
  • 2 Abs and Core (V-Ups, Bicycle Crunches, In & Out Abs, Sprinter Sit Up…)
• Find a space where you can jog for 100m (jog on the spot for 1 minute if you can’t find the space)

Instructions

• You may perform 1 – 3 Round of exercises (you may set the number of reps as well as the rest time to suit your fitness level). Below is an example of a 3 round workout
  • Round 1: 15 Reps per exercise, 1 Minute rest
  • Round 2: 10 Reps per exercise, 30 Seconds rest
  • Round 3: 5 Reps per exercise, No rest
• Pick 1 paper(exercise) from the hat and perform the prescribed number of repetitions as quickly as possible followed by jogging lightly for 1 minute (active recovery)
• Pick the next exercise and repeat until you have performed all 8 exercises.
• If you are doing more than 1 round of exercises, return all the papers (exercises) to the box, rest for 2 minutes between rounds
