✅ What Is a Progressive HIIT Workout?
HIIT stands for High-Intensity Interval Training, but don’t worry—this version is low-impact and senior-friendly. In our progressive format, we’ll guide you through:
3 sets of 3 exercises
Each round increases in time:
30 seconds
40 seconds
50 seconds
20 seconds of rest between each exercise
1 minute of rest between each set
A quick 10-second cardio burst after each set to boost your metabolism and cardiovascular fitness
This gradual increase in intensity helps your body adapt and build endurance at a steady, safe pace.
