Okay so it’s actually a 28 day workout plan or 4 weeks but we liked the sound of a 30 day workout challenge.
Our last post, the 4 week workout plan for beginners, was so popular that we wanted to create something more challenging for the advanced exercises.
Anyone that’s done our workouts here at HIIT Weekly will admit that the beginners 4 week plan was somewhat easier then the workouts you are used to.
With that in mind we have jumped ahead and created this killer 4 week workout plan designed for more advanced users.
It’s a 5 day cycle with 2 days rest at the end of the cycle. Its intense, however we have kept the workouts nice and short. Workouts 1, 3 and 5 are under 20 minutes long while your workouts on day 2 and 4 are Tabata workouts at just 4 minutes long.
If you are new to Tabata, its a form of high intensity interval training (HIIT) that is highly effective.
It can be done in just 4 minutes and consists of 8 rounds of 20 seconds intervals where you work maximally aka as hard as you can with 10 second breaks between bouts. Its hard-hitting and that’s exactly why we included it in this 30 day challenge.
Not many people can complete 4 minutes of Tabata and say that they worked as hard as they could on each and every round. Normally you get 2-3 minutes in and start flagging (slowing down).
By the end of the 4 weeks you should be able to work through each of the 8 rounds full on. Or at least be close to it.
How and when to use this 4 week workout plan
The 30 day workout challenge is a great way to kick start or make a change to your workout routine to spice things up and get some new results.
It will give you a new focus, knowing that you need to reach the end of the 4 weeks having completed 20 HIIT workouts.
What’s great is that that is totally achievable. Do the minimum and you’ll only need to find 20 minutes a day.
This is also a killer vacation workout plan, whether its to get bikini ready or you need something to do while on vacation when there’s no equipment.
Complete the 4 week challenge by working out Monday through Friday and resting at the weekend.
Before each workout do the quick 5 minute warm up below, it’s a workout on its own for some but as we said this is pitched at advanced users.
