Home | Single Workout | Beginner: 12 exercises
High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) is a fantastic way to burn fat and build muscle efficiently. This workout features a series of dynamic push-up variations, with a structure designed to maximize your performance in just 6 minutes. With 10 seconds of preparation, 20 seconds of work, and brief 10 seconds of rest between exercises, you'll elevate your heart rate while sculpting your upper body. Let's break down the exercises you'll be performing!
First up is the "Push-up," a classic bodyweight exercise that focuses on building upper body strength through targeted training of the chest, shoulders, and triceps. Follow it with the "Archer Push-up," an advanced variation that increases the range of motion and targets each arm individually, enhancing muscle engagement and coordination.
Next, you'll transition to the "Cobra Push-up," which not only strengthens your upper body but also stretches the lower back and improves flexibility. The "Decline Push-up" elevates your feet, providing an added challenge aimed at engaging your upper pectoral muscles.
After that, we'll shift to the "Diamond Push-up" to focus on triceps strength, followed by the "Finger Push-up," a unique move that helps enhance grip strength and forearm development. Make sure to keep proper form as you move on to the "Pike Push-up," designed to target your shoulders and upper chest.
The "Push-up Pull" introduces a dynamic component by adding a pulling motion, simulating a rowing motion, while reinforcing your core stability. You'll also perform the "Superman Push-up," which challenges your full body, requiring significant strength and coordination.
Following that is the "Lay Down Push-up," a challenging but effective variation that builds explosive strength, after which you can try the "Pseudo Planche Push-up," which shifts more weight towards your hands to target the shoulders and core.
Finally, the workout concludes with the "Close Grip Push-up," activating the tricep muscles for increased burn.
This intense push-up workout is not only efficient, but it also provides a comprehensive upper body workout that can be done anywhere, anytime – no weights required. So grab your mat, muster your energy, and let's crush this HIIT push-up session together! Don’t forget to hydrate afterward and consult a trainer if you need tips on form or modifications.
