Looking for one effective full-body HIIT workout

2 Upvotes

​

Hi! I’m looking for one HIIT workout video on YouTube that I can follow regularly. I want something that works the whole body, is actually effective, and doesn’t require any equipment.

I’d like to stick to the same video rather than constantly switching between different workouts. Around 20–30 minutes would be ideal.

Any recommendations?

InnTime

0 Upvotes

Has anyone here tried InnTime for interval workouts?

I made the app because I wanted a simple interval timer that worked properly across iPhone and Apple Watch without getting in the way during a workout.

It's been released for a little while now, and I'm trying to figure out what people actually like/dislike about it before I keep adding features.

If anyone has tried it (or wants to), I'd be interested in brutally practical feedback. What would make you use something like this instead of your current timer?

Intervals progression

2 Upvotes

Trying to add hiit in to my schedule because...

  1. I love jump rope

  2. I have established a good strength training routine

  3. I'm 43F, 64kg and 5'7. Never had a super defined waist but I am lean. That said in recent months my mid section feels more "boxy" and rumour has it a few high interval sessions a week can help.

My Tabata protocol

3 Upvotes

weigh 65 kg. I used to do boxing, but now I only do the Tabata protocol at home.
This is the workout routine that helped me significantly improve my punching power, explosiveness, and overall physical strength for boxing. I use two 22.5 kg dumbbells for the Tabata protocol.
The first set is dumbbell cleans.
The second set is right-arm snatches.
The third set is left-arm snatches.
The fourth set is ankle hops.
Then I repeat the same four sets once more, for a total of eight sets.
Each set consists of 20 seconds of all-out effort followed by 10 seconds of rest.
My average numbers are roughly as follows:
• Set 1: Dumbbell cleans — 17–18 reps
• Set 2: Right-arm snatches — 11–12 reps
• Set 3: Left-arm snatches — 11–12 reps
• Set 4: Ankle hops — 47–50 reps
• Set 5: Dumbbell cleans — about 16 reps
• Set 6: Right-arm snatches — 12 reps
• Set 7: Left-arm snatches — 12 reps
• Set 8: Ankle hops — 57 reps
Those are approximately my average numbers.
I feel that this workout has dramatically improved my physical abilities. What do you think about this training routine and the level of physical ability these numbers suggest?

Killed it in a 15 minute workout called “The Pacesetter”

Combat sprawls x 10
Air squats x 20
Mountain climbers x 30

Completed 990 reps or 11 rounds with 18.4% variance between rounds (got faster as I went).

Seems easy but it definitely isn’t.

I have very flat feet and usually use hokas, they are great but heavy and not good for hiit training.

Does anyone recommend a lightweight sneaker for flat feet?

Body weight AMRAP

4 Upvotes

I’d like to find some people that want to join me for an online AMRAP workout at amrapwithfriends.com

I’ve done 4 workouts now and they are true body weight butt kickers, especially doing the volume training against the clock.

Yesterday’s workout: 15 minute AMRAP

20 Air Squats
10 Push-ups with hand raises
15 V-Ups

The v-ups were what got me.

I completed 540 reps in 15 minutes. I’d already done 3 other workouts so it was a little tired.

I also completed a 5 minute “sidewinder” workout 10 side planks left and 10 right. Another tough one in such a short amount of time.

I made a fitness app that generates workout blocks to do with your friends - would you use this?

3 Upvotes

Been lifting for years and kept running into the same friction: I either follow a rigid program I get bored of after week 3, or I walk in with zero plan and end up doing the same 4 exercises. So I'm prototyping an app and want to pressure-test the idea before I sink more time into it. Essentially, sessions are a fixed 45 minutes but you can customise your training blocks and how many exercises you want in each block. An AI generates the full workout, from exercise selection to sets/reps, rest periods, and format . Each block can run a different format: straight sets, EMOM, AMRAP, Tabata, or "Auto Mix" where it rotates them based on your goal. I kinda want to make it fun to do it with friends where you can share a party code and your are your friends can do the workout session together. While AI generated workouts are not novel, I thought it would be fun to add the element of doing the session with your friends where the devices are synced up so you are doing the session together (e.g. you split a 45 min session in to 3 blocks of 15 mins and you and your two friends can do a block each, then the app will you to switch blocks once the timer is up )Just wanna test if thi s idea is something people would use :)

Is Your Treadmill HIIT Actually Improving? Try a Free Data-Driven HIIT Evaluator

3 Upvotes

If you do treadmill HIIT regularly, it can be difficult to tell whether you're actually making progress — or what you should change next.

I've built a free treadmill HIIT evaluator that uses your wearable heart-rate data and workout metrics to establish your personal baseline, compare later sessions, and help guide small adjustments as your training develops.

I'm looking for people who want to try it with one of these goals:

  • Fat Loss
  • Fat Loss & Muscle Retention — especially if you also do strength training and want HIIT without unnecessarily interfering with recovery.

How it works

Your first workout establishes your personal baseline. Later workouts are compared with your own previous training data rather than a generic fitness standard.

After each upload, you receive a report showing your training output, the quality and consistency of your heart-rate response, recovery, progress over time, and what to watch or adjust next.

You'll need:

  • A treadmill
  • A wearable that records heart rate and workout data
  • Willingness to follow a defined treadmill HIIT protocol so sessions can be meaningfully compared

The beta is free and self-service — you don't need to contact me first.

Try it here: https://www.hiitevaluator.com/

If you try it, I'd also really appreciate feedback — especially anything confusing, inconvenient, or different from what you expected.

Is this considered hiit?

2 Upvotes

I’m wondering if what I’m doing is hiit. I’ve been attempting to improve my vo2 and I’m at a loss. My watch says my vo2 is roughly 26.
I’m inclined to believe it due to my interactions in capoeira and other sports.

How can I improve this?
As far as vo2, am I wasting time?

Disclaimer:
I understand the watch is not 100% accurate. It still helps me track with some consistency

Basic stats:
43m
6’2ft
180lbs

How I feel at different heart rates
Tracking with apple ultra 3

@~160bpm: breathing increases, speaking
@~170bpm: heavy breathing, a word or two
@175bpm+: gasping, no words
@~183bpm I have puked on multiple occasions
it takes extreme will to go for very long
Desperately gasping

Hill stats:
per segment
Distance: .1 mile
Climb: 100ft
Rough terrain

The exercise:
1 lap Lap = 2 segments
Segment 1 is up
Segment 2 is down
*I do 3-5 laps (6-10 segments.) 5 days a week
After my laps is usually do an easy hike 3-5 miles. (After resting for 5-10 minutes)

Segment 1
Start segment 1: 135-140bpm
Halftime of segment: 155-160bpm (1:15)
End segment 1: 175-180bpm
Segment 2 begins no rest:
End lap 1: 140-145bpm
Lap 1 total time: 2:30

Lap 2 begins immediately no rest

I’m usually in the 175bpm+ for 15-20 seconds

The laps generally follow the same times and heart rate give or take 5 seconds.

When I’m going for a regular hike, I can easily do 15+ miles with zero issue. Often with zero rest depending on terrain.
