No gym? No equipment? No problem. Some workouts are so easy and effective that you can do them from the comfort of your home, and one of these workouts is HIIT. If you’re unfamiliar with the term, HIIT workouts, aka High-Intensity Interval Training, are a type of exercise that alternates between short bursts of intense exercise and brief recovery periods, and they have endless benefits. From keeping your heart healthy to increasing fat loss, there are many HIIT workouts that you can practice. So grab your mat and let’s get started!

Burpees are one of the most effective full-body HIIT workouts, as they engage most of the body's muscles during a single exercise and are great for keeping your heart pumping. You squat down, place your hands on the floor, and jump your feet back into a push-up position. After a push-up (optional), you jump your feet back in and finish with a jump straight up, and arms overhead.
Mountain Climbers
This exercise is great for your core strength. First, you start in a plank position and quickly alternate bringing your knees toward your chest, as if you’re running in place horizontally.
Planks

Love 'em or hate 'em, planks are one of the best workouts when it comes to strengthening the core and improving your posture. Lay on your stomach, the slowly lift yourself up onto your forearms and toes while keeping your back straight and engage your core. Stay in position for minimum 20 seconds if you're a beginner.
Body-weight Squats
Bodyweight squats are great for your lower muscles. Engage your core, keep your chest up, and lower as if sitting in an invisible chair. Keep heels flat, then push through them to stand back up.
High Knees

If you want to keep your heart pumping throughout your workout, high knees are a must. They’re a quick and effective way to get your cardio in—just jog in place while lifting your knees as high as you can. Engage your core and stay light on your feet.
