Back to Basics Bodyweight HIIT Workout

Push-ups, squats, and burpees; it’s back to basics for this effective, 30-minute bodyweight HIIT workout you can do anywhere, anytime! 

I’m home from my first full weekend away from my baby boy. I was in Chicago for the Vital Proteins fitness summit where I had the opportunity to workout with a bunch of fitness pros. Guess what?! We did a lot of push ups, squats, and burpees.

No matter where you are on your fitness journey, these are foundational exercises to master. And the best part, there’s no fancy-schmancy gym equipment required. You can do these exercises and this workout with just your bodyweight, which means you can do it anywhere, anytime.

So whether you’re outdoors, traveling, working out with friends, or sneaking in a quick circuit on stroller run you can do this 30-minute bodyweight HIIT workout.
