The Important Information about HiiT 30/30 with Cathe Friedrich

There are 3 short workouts on High Intensity Interval Training. This post is a review of the 30/30 workout.  You can read about the Pyramid workout, too.

30/30 has 16 exercises that you repeat for 30 seconds followed by a 30 second break. You won’t need the step for every exercise.

The 11^th (Air Jacks) and 12^th (Tuck Jumps) intervals are the hardest.

I like to know how many reps there are for each exercise so I’m going to share it with you. Whether you tend to count the reps off in your head or not, try to keep up with the team.  Every exercise is done as a group.

Do HiiT 30/30 when you’re short on time but willing to do a workout that will make an impact on the rest of your day.

Remember to read to the end of this post for details and tips to conquer every section as well as links to a few places you can compare prices for this video 🙂

Try to stay in the squat position (bend at the waist and try not to round your back) while you’re moving side to side.  You should feel this in your glutes and thighs.

There are 38 reps.

Rest

Cool Down/Stretch

There’s a good stretch at the end.  Don’t skip it.  You’ll burn a few more calories and your flexibility is important.  Don’t act like it doesn’t matter.

Now What?

I love Hiit 30/30.  Each of the three workouts on High Intensity Interval Training has a different style but is short and to the point.  Get in and get out.  I like that.
