HIIT Training FAQs

What is HIIT Training?

High intensity interval training (HIIT Training) combines short bursts of intense exercise (high-intensity exercise) with short periods of rest (or low-intensity exercise). The goals is to raise your heart rate to at least 80 percent of its maximum capacity (you can calculate your personal max heart rate here) for a short interval of time.

What are the Health Benefits of HIIT Training?

HIIT training is great for weight loss, but trainers use HIIT training for other health benefits as well. HIIT is known for its impressive calorie burn, ability to reduce heart rate and blood pressure (improving oxygen and blood flow, and improve anaerobic and aerobic performance.

Strength and HIIT collide in these 9 total body exercises you can do at home with dumbbells.

These are big, compound exercises. But you only have to do each HIIT exercise twice, so grab your heavy weights.

And be prepared for the 4-minute AMRAP finisher at the end; it’s a total body workout challenge (that will leave you hands on knees).

I suggest adding this HIIT routine to your weekly fitness schedule once a week.

Workout Equipment:

A medium-to-heavy set of dumbbells.

I recommend 8-30 lbs depending on your fitness level. I’m using 15 and 20 lb dumbbells in this workout.

The Goal: The last 2-3 reps of each exercise should feel challenging to complete; that means you chose the right weights.

9 Best HIIT Training Exercises with Weights

Targets: Lower body, glutes, hamstrings, hips, quads, calves, trapezius, deltoids, lower back, abs and core.

This total body powerlifting exercise strengthens multiple major muscle groups in your body.

How To Do A Deadlift and Clean Squat

  1. Start standing feet hip-distance apart and knees slightly bent. Hold a dumbbell in each hand in front of your body (overhand grip, palms face your thighs).
  2. Hinge forward at the hips, pushing your hips back as you lower the dumbbells down along the front of your body. You should feel a stretch in the back of your legs (hamstrings). Focus on keeping your back in neutral alignment with your neck and shoulders throughout the entire movement. Keep a slight bend in your knees to avoid ‘locking out’ the joint.
  3. Drive through your heels to push your hips forward, squeezing your glutes as you return to a standing position.
  4. As you press your hips forward to stand up, “clean” the dumbbells up towards your shoulders.
  5. Catch the dumbbells at your shoulders and hold the weights in a front rack position as you bend your knees to lower down into a squat, pushing your knees out as you drop your hips parallel to your knees.
  6. Drive through the heels to stand up, returning to the starting position.

Modification: Follow Rachel, on the left, and omit the clean portion of the movement. Rather perform one deadlift and one squat; dumbbells remain at your sides the entire time.

Two Single Arm Back Rows and One Dumbbell Snatch

Targets: The back (trapezius, latissimus dorsi, and spinal erectors), shoulders (rotator cuff and deltoid), legs, glutes, hamstrings, hips and core.

  4. Control the dumbbell back down to the starting position. Repeat for a second single arm row on the right side.
  5. Then, in one explosive movement, drive your hips forward as you ‘snatch’ the dumbbell in your right hand overhead (using the momentum created by your legs and hips to power the dumbbell overhead).
  6. Note, you shouldn’t struggle to press the weight overhead, it should be an easy extension of the move, with the majority of the work being done by your legs to create momentum.
  7. With control lower the dumbbell down to the right shoulder, then return to the starting position in a bent over row.

Low Squat and Half Kneeling Arnold Press

Targets: Legs, hamstrings, hip flexors, glutes, quads, shoulders, abs and core.

  3. As you lift your hips off the mat, press the dumbbell overhead; arms straight.
  4. Hold this glute bridge position as you drop your right elbow to the mat to perform a side chest press.

  1. This is my second time through the new HIIT Strong program – such terrific workouts, and it’s great to follow along with a program. I love the “progress goals” idea. I did all the push-ups from my toes in this workout! I’m definitely getting stronger, one workout at a time. I even had to buy heavier weights! Thanks, Lindsey and Rachel, and the entire NML team. Keep up the great work!

  2. Cues, goals, and most importantly Isaiah 26:3-4 YAAAAS! Lit ladies thank you for an amazing work out for body, mind and soul!
