We always suggest that you do a warm up before your workout and a cool down afterward but we usually leave you to pick and choose each component for yourself. With this routine however we have taken the guess work out of the equation for you by providing a complete exercise program with every component you need for a safe and effective bout of physical activity. In this 40 minute routine we will take you through a warm up, a HIIT workout, a short core workout, and then a relaxing stretch & cool down to cover every aspect of a comprehensive workout.
We have also included a calorie burn bar to show you not only how far along you are in the workout in general but also how many calories you burn on average throughout the entire program. We know that everyone is different as far as how many calories they burn with any give workout so we have set a range of calorie expenditure from high to low. Though some people will fall outside of this range, over 90% of you will fall somewhere between the high and low calorie burn. So what is the actually calorie burn? With this entire routine you can average anywhere from 8.1 to 11.6 calories per minute giving you a total burn of 325 to 465 total calories burnt over the course of this 40 minute workout.
