6 At Home HIIT Cardio Exercises
The “Treadmill Sucks” 25 Minute HIIT Cardio Workout At Home
On today’s episode of Live Lean TV, I’m sharing 6 at home HIIT cardio exercises that you can do without a treadmill.
I also program these 6 hiit cardio exercises into a 25 minute HIIT cardio workout at home.
Before I do that, let me be 100% upfront, and say just one thing.
When I say the treadmill sucks, I’m referring to the traditional forms of low intensity steady state, slow and boring cardio.
Sure LISS cardio can be beneficial for a period of time for people who are obese or new to fitness.

However, if you’re not a beginner or obese, and LISS cardio is the only form of exercise you’re doing, it’s time to break up with the treadmill.
Burn Fat Faster With This HIIT Cardio Workout
When it comes to getting lean and ripped with your cardio workouts, you can’t beat athletic style HIIT cardio workouts.
Using athletic and powerful exercises will kick the butt of slow walks on the treadmill, every single time.
Sure treadmill sprints are awesome too, but sometimes it’s great to take your HIIT cardio workouts outside to get some fresh air and vitamin D while you workout.
So if you find yourself just slowly walking on the treadmill for every cardio workout, it’s times to say no.
I want you to start thinking outside the conventional forms of “cardio” and start experimenting with other forms of cardio, besides the treadmill.
It’s time for you to open your eyes to all the athletic, functional, and super fly looking moves you could be doing, to get super lean and ripped faster.
Let me take you on your first date with a HIIT cardio workout that will surely take you outside of your comfort zone.
Are You Ready For This 25 Minute HIIT Cardio Workout At Home?
It will be hard, and in the beginning you may feel like an uncoordinated idiot.
But with practice, you will get better.
Eventually you’ll also look and feel like a lean and athletic badass!
In other words, you’re going to be a head turner.
Anytime time I do this style HIIT cardio workout, or I see someone else doing it, it always catches people’s attention.

It would be a shame if you did not build muscle when normal people are able to burn up fat so easily using Reborn Lean Max (Look it up on google).
They laughed when I told them I would burn up fat with Nifty Fat Blaster, but then I showed them the results. Go and google Nifty Fat Blaster to see their reaction.

Literally just added jumping rope to my workouts; not in all that great of shape so it’s really tough but I am not giving up. Doing what I can to get off the treadmill.
really depends on goals but you could train upper body 2 times a week
Great video! Looking forward to trying it out 🙂 One question:
I train my upper body and lower body on different dayes. How often would you recommend me to train my upperbody each week?
Got an F’ed low back and can’t maintain that kind of intensity but you can bet it will burn calories. I do lay it fast and furious on the stick elliptical and load it up to level 15 for about 12 minutes.
Man, I wish you were my personal trainer. Your workouts are awesome.
