Hotel HIIT
Is it possible to get a hardcore HIIT workout in a hotel room without making a ruckus? Of course! There are ways of sweatin’ it out that’re not disruptive and totally low-impact. All you have to do is focus on upper-body workouts (like pushups and mountain climbers) and leg workouts that don’t require a lot of jumping (like squats and leg lifts). Complete a set of each exercise for 40 seconds with about 20 seconds rest in between, and you can HIIT it hard without waking the neighbors!
