Welcome to day 9 of your Summer Sculpt Challenge! Each daily bodyweight workout is designed with a different target in mind to achieve best results. You will find the number of sets and repetitions with each exercise demonstration along with a description of how to perform the exercise.
This HIIT session is performed in intervals of 30 seconds on and 40 seconds off (break) between rounds for each exercise. You can use an interval timer app like SIT for setting times for the rounds, action and breaks.

HIGH KNEES
4 rounds X 25 secs
Stand with your feet hip width apart in a squat position. Step wide to one side maintaining the squat position, return back to the center and continue to the other side.

Place the rope behind you and turn the jump rope over your head while keeping the pace as quick as possible. If you don't have a jump rope, you can perform the exercise by skipping in place.
