I love to do bodyweight/HIIT exercises. I'm looking for some resources (websites, youtube videos) with some HIIT workouts to try!

    warm up, run all out, then recover, repeat a few times. Done. Or do it on a bike.

    From the Wattbike Hub app (indoor bike).
    Warm up then bursts of very short duration close to maximal effort (orange spikes) interspered with recovery periods (blue) and then cool down.

    Keep it simple! Another good one, find some stairs to run up, walk back down to recover & repeat.

    That's not HIIT though even if they name it as such.

    My suggestion would be don't do HIIT until you have a really, really strong cardio base. Recipe for injury if you don't. If you're not doing cardio 5X a week right now, I wouldn't do HIIT. If you want to do HIIT, work up, very gradually, your cardio base for 12 to 16 weeks first. Only add in 10% more per week maximum and go slow.

    HIIT is way more effective (and fun) when you're not dying or having bad form, risking injury.

    At the same time, work on bodyweight lifting and form to build up your muscles and get you ready to do more intense work. Build a base with your muscle fitness first as well. Again, just asking for injury if you're not doing basic lifting 2X a week already. That could be squats, lunges, pushups, overhead presses or lateral raises -- doesn't have to be fancy.

    Thanks, I am definitely keeping this in mind- a couple years ago I had a cardio/strength/HIIT schedule down that worked well for me, but I fell out of it. Looking to get back in, and I am very aware of the painful effects it can have! I'm do frequent cardio, lots of stretching, and lots of water (: I've got my base down, just looking for some new ideas!
