High-intensity interval training is good for multiple reasons that’s why it always trends in the world of fitness. For example, it develops endurance, improves cardiovascular health, and helps lose/manage weight. However, you need to work out routinely to get the full benefits of it. That’s why I’ve designed an easy to follow 6 week HIIT workout plan with a PDF so that you can train efficiently at home.

I have included mostly bodyweight exercises in this workout program that requires little to no equipment and you can easily do them in your bedroom or living room.

This program is suitable for you if you want to lose weight, build stamina, and improve brain, heart, and lung health. However, if you have a breathing issue, or you’re on medication, pregnant, or breastfeeding, you should avoid interval training.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How many times a week should I do HIIT?

You can do high-intensity interval training two to three times a week. However, higher HIIT frequency is a good effect on fat loss, cholesterol, and mental well-being.1 Stavrinou PS, Bogdanis GC, Giannaki CD, Terzis G, Hadjicharalambous M. High-intensity Interval Training Frequency: Cardiometabolic Effects and Quality of Life. Int J Sports Med. 2018 Feb;39(3):210-217. doi: 10.1055/s-0043-125074. Epub 2018 Feb 2. PMID: 29396978.

What’s the best time to do HIIT exercises?

You can do HIIT at any time of the day when you feel more energetic, whether it’s morning, afternoon, or evening. However, working out early in the day has a more positive impact on weight loss than later in the day.2 Willis, Erik A et al. “The effects of exercise session timing on weight loss and components of energy balance: midwest exercise trial 2.” International journal of obesity (2005) vol. 44,1 (2020): 114-124. doi:10.1038/s41366-019-0409-x Another study suggested that consistent morning exercise is more beneficial for people with obesity. So if you want to shed some extra kilos, working out in the morning can be beneficial for you.3 Schumacher LM, Thomas JG, Raynor HA, Rhodes RE, Bond DS. Consistent Morning Exercise May Be Beneficial for Individuals With Obesity. Exerc Sport Sci Rev. 2020 Oct;48(4):201-208. doi: 10.1249/JES.0000000000000226. PMID: 32658039; PMCID: PMC7492403.

How long a HIIT workout session is suitable?

It depends on your goal and fitness level. If you want to lose weight you should work out at least 30 minutes five times a week. However, if you only want to balance your overall fitness, then 20 to 30 minutes three times a week would be good.4Atakan MM, Li Y, Koşar ŞN, Turnagöl HH, Yan X. Evidence-Based Effects of High-Intensity Interval Training on Exercise Capacity and Health: A Review with Historical Perspective. Int J Environ Res Public Health. 2021;18(13):7201. Published 2021 Jul 5. doi:10.3390/ijerph18137201 You can also increase the time or frequency if you like.
