The Lower-Body HIIT and Lifting Circuit

I see so many people overtrain and crash diet for quick results, then quit if and when it gets too hard. I want you to be strong enough for everything else in life, whether it’s hopping on a wakeboard or riding a quad. So when putting these workouts together, I really wanted to get back to basics. 

Based off my popular LIIFT4 program on Beachbody OnDemand, this efficient and effective lower-body circuit workout combines old-school lifting 101 with the science of high-intensity interval training (HIIT).

A study published in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning found that active people who performed a HIIT workout compared with just cardio or just weights burned significantly more calories. Remember, it doesn’t have to be all or nothing. Consistency will get you to your goals.
