The Ultimate 16-Minute Pre-flight HIIT Workout

Got an early morning flight? No time for a workout? Think again! This HIIT workout (High-intensity Interval Training) is perfect before a flight or just on a regular day! HIIT workouts go quickly because the moves are always changing, and that’s what I love about them: I don’t get bored. And I don’t think you will, either!

16-minute Pre-flight HIIT

This particular workout includes 15 moves that you’ll do for 50 seconds each, then rest for 10 seconds each, too. I’ve got the timer going in the video, so just listen for the dings and follow along! If you want to do the workout without the video, or want to make up your own HIIT workout, all you’ll need is yourself and a timer, which you can download to your phone! I use the Interval Timer for iPhone, or you can get one for Andoid here. Now let’s get to it!

Equipment:

  • Bodyweight
  • Towel (optional)
  • Timer (included in video); here’s what the timer settings look like for this workout:
