If you want to get in a little exercise at home and get sweaty, it’s HIIT to the rescue! These high-intensity workouts can be done at home, in a small space, and with minimal or no equipment.
If you’re finding it hard to get motivated to work out as intensely as you do at the gym, it may help to find a time each day to devote to your home workout – make it part of your daily schedule (write it down in your planner!) so you don’t skip it. Dedicate one spot in your house for home workouts, hang up motivational quotes, and throw on a POPSUGAR Fitness Spotify playlist to get you psyched. Then, choose one of these HIIT workouts, and you’ll feel so good after!
