You've heard of HIIT but have you heard of HIIT conditioning? It's a type of training that uses the same principle of intense periods of work followed by short rest breaks but, crucially, focuses on strengthening muscles to increase your endurance and tone.
If, like us, your interest has been piqued, TSC Method founder and PT Tashi Skervin–Clarke has a spicy one for you to try today: a HIIT conditioning full-body workout that'll target large muscle groups, build up a great sweat and get you fitter in the process.
If you're ready – with some water close by – scroll on for your full workout.
Meet your PT: Tashi Skervin-Clarke
What's your favourite exericse?
A deadlift – it's such a powerful exercise and it always makes me feel so strong when I perform it. There are so many different variations such as single leg and RDL. If I could only do one exercise for the rest of my life, this would be it.
And what's the most overrated exercise in your opinion?
Thats a great question, I actually think all exercises have their own purpose specific to each and every goal. With that being said, I think exercises like doing a squat walk, uphill on a treadmill, with a band around your ankles are completely unnecessary.
Give us your best training tip...
Take each day as it come and train accordingly. Sometimes you feel strong and bursting with energy, other times we don't. So train accordingly to how you feel.
On the days when you feel tired but still want to train, instead of pushing yourself through a session you don't want to do, do something that makes you feel good.
It could be dancing, skipping, going for a walk or perhaps go for a run but don't it without tracking your pace. And, when you're busting with energy do a more challenging session.
