HIIT: A Final Session To End The Term

Today as the second to last day of term 2, we had 1 final session of HIIT to finish off the term. In today's session we all focused on our upper body strength, and did a rotation of pull ups, press ups, and mountain climbers. In each rotation, we would have a partner. With our partner we would take turns every 30 seconds to do each exercise. Although before we got to the main exercises, we started with a warm up. With a buddy, we would try to tap their shoulders, while not getting taped ourselves. If your shoulder was tapped, you would then do a burpee. Then we switched the punishment to planking, and hitting your partners hands 10 times. At the very end we would do one final exercise. We would all do squats to the song Flower which many times includes the words Up and Down. Every time the word up was said, we would stand. Every time the word down was said, we would squat. I had a lot of fun today, and I am hoping we continue next term.

HIIT: Term 3 | Week 5 | Session 2

Today we had our second session of our HIIT workout for week 5. In this session, our exercises were: push ups, squats, tap step, and star jumps. Although not everything went as planned in today's session, as we ran into a technical issue. Half way through our workout the music that would constantly be played in the background unintentionally stopped. We were all confused, but were reassured to continue. It turned out that our speaker, (the Ue boom) ran out of charge midway through our session. Now it was up to us to make sure that we were doing the exercise for at least 20 seconds, and had a 10 second break. We did around 5 sets of each exercise, having 20 seconds to do our exercises. I sure did have a lot of fun this session of HIIT. Though I do hope that next time we do something a little better than push ups, as that immediately got us tired right away.

HIIT: Term 3 Week 4 | Session 2

Today, we had the second session of HIIT for week 4 of term 3. The reason as to why I did not publish a blogpost earlier is because I did not take part in the session. That's because I was sick. Although Monday is not what we are talking about. We're talking about today's session. Today we had only two exercises opposing to four. Our two exercises were push ups, and star jumps. We did at least six sets of each exercise. The session ran for at least 20 minutes, and we all had a lot of fun doing it.

HIIT: Week 3 | Session 1

Today, we had our first session for the third week of HIIT for term 2. For today's session, our exercises were high knee sprints, tap step, mountain climbers, and start jumps. We did this rotation in 4 lines of five, and ended up doing it at least 6 times each. We would do each exercise for 20 seconds, and have a 10 second break. This session of HIIT, we definitely managed to get puffed, as that is the goal for this whole program. Constantly, we were energised, and hard working to push our limits, and improve our previous records. I don't know what our next exercises will be, but I hope we will get just as energised.

HIIT: Week 1 | Session 2

Today, we had our second session of HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) for the first week of term 3. You may remember that we did this last term, and now it has come across to the following term. To start this term off, we began by going over our original rotation. But now we have gotten creative. Today we all chose a series of activities to put into the rotation. In the end we settled with star jumps, tap step, and high knee sprint. Next, each and everyone of us would get into lines of five where we would attempt to be in sync with everyone in front of us. For this, we would do an exercise for 30 seconds, and have a 30 second break. This would continue in the rotation that we chose for ourselves. This went on for roughly 15 minutes. Breaks included. We also had Mataio and Tiava the amazing people that they are, demonstrate the rotation, and a few warm ups. This session of HIIT was a lot of fun. The reason being that it was better to have a variety of different exercises for different muscles rather than just working on our legs, or arms. Hopefully the next session will have even more exercises, and even more challenges.

HIIT: Session 2 of Week 4

Today, we had our second session of HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) for this week. Last week, our exercises were split squats, split squat pulses, slit squat jump, and star jumps. Although for this week we had completely new exercises. This week for our exercises we did squats, push ups, and bar pull ups. Another different thing about this weeks sessions were that we were set in a rotation. You see, there wasn't enough bars for the bar pull ups, so what we did was get into a group of six, and in this group everyone would have a partner. You and your partner would stay at one station for a whole 80 seconds, so both of you would have 40 seconds to do that exercise. Next you would more to another station and do the same thing. I had a lot fun this week for HIIT, and have no clue what we will be doing next week. Hopefully something as awesome as this week.
