Things to know before you train:

• This is HIIT (high intensity interval training), and its success rests on your working hard for a short period of time, followed by a shorter rest, then working hard again. Repeat. HIIT sessions don't last long (usually around 12 minutes to 30 minutes), so you have really push yourself while you are working. Your rate of perceived exertion (RPE  — how hard you feel like you are working) should be between a 7 - 9.5 on a scale of 0-10 — 0 being laying on your couch scrolling your Insta feed, and 10 being doing the hardest exercise you can conceive of doing.
