At Men's Health, we're using this period as an opportunity to build up our community and share as much useful, positive information as possible. For everyone stuck missing their typical workout routines with gyms and fitness centers closed down, we've done our best to provide as many at-home workout options as possible . But that's just the start. We're also hosting live workout sessions on Instagram with some of our favorite trainers to fill the fitness class-shaped void in your daily routine.
Gerren Liles , founding Mirror trainer and creator of All Out Studio 's High Power HIIT program , hosted the latest session. His HIIT workouts are designed to cram as much safe, effective work into as little time as possible using smart interval periods of work and active rest. "You're basically spiking your heart rate up and down and up and down to really elicit that metabolic response," he says.
This session is an equipment-free blast that gets progressively harder, with an extra focus on the core and abs. All you need to do it is the will to work hard and about as much space as it takes to roll out a yoga mat and move in the shape of an L.
