BioMost people fail to maintain a good body weight because of their lack of time in going to a gym or due to the inconvenience of driving to a workout center to do their workouts. It can be tough for a lot of people to squeeze out some time from their hectic schedule to get to a gym. However, there is a way out.
Workouts at home are a great option and they don't require high-tech, expensive gym equipment. Travelling to a gym is not the only way to build muscle or burn extra fat. Workouts at home are convenient and can be very easy to set up. The most effective way to burn fat and strengthen the muscles is through cardiovascular exercise and basic strength training.
HITT can be done at home and one does not need to hit the gym to do it. Moreover, there is no cost involved in setting up an exercise program at home. There is no gym membership and no need to spend money for the purchase of elliptical machines or treadmills. Before starting any cardio exercises, a person first needs to warm up by devoting some time to doing easy body weight squats and jumping jacks.
Taking a walk around the neighborhood or light jogging around the backyard can also warm up a person before light exercise training. After warming up, an individual can kick start the cardio workouts, including plank, mountain climbers, side hops, burpees, stationary reverse lunge sprints in place and body weight squats. You can use a dumbbell to hop side to side or use anything that has some weight and will make it more challenging.

After the hill workout is finished I will cool down by running back to the start. The total workout is 7 miles. This morning I warmed up and ran the hills as usual. After finishing the hills instead of cooling down I ran for 20 minutes at tempo pace. This made the total workout about 10 miles. I must admit this workout is a lot tougher.
I plan to rotate a ten mile tempo pace run with my new combination workout. My theory is that I will be able to keep the leg strength that I have gained and also improve my lactate threshold with this type of training too. I have adapted this workout to my marathon training. This workout could also be adapted to different race distances.
