Almost 8 years later and still the best HIIT workout to ever exist. Doesn't matter how in-shape you are, it gets you every time

I am grateful to this guy to give me an opportunity to meet my late grandparents for 20 minutes.

Ten years later....and this continues to be included in my training...it truly is brutal.

[hotshotsunnyz]

Did it 5 years ago. 4 times a week. It got me into the best shape I ever was, it was perfect. Did many other variants for other hiit workouts which are even longer than this one, but none come closer to this. I think having very little break time for 20 sec is the key to burn more calories during the workout and the day that follows.

The only thing faster than the speed of light is the 20 second rest

I commented 2 months ago but wanted to give an update/advice: Keep going. Even if it's been a month and you still can't make it through the entire workout without pausing the video, keep going. I nearly threw up my first time doing this workout, even while I had to pause a few times throughout, and at a certain point I gave up for a couple of weeks. I'm at month 2 now and I can get through the entire thing (albeit, a tad bit slower than he does lol) without stopping. I'm in the best shape I've ever been, my mood is up, I'm energetic... Truly one of the best things I've done for myself. So if you're just starting your journey, don't be discouraged if there are hiccups. They're expected. Just keep trying.

Started this for the first time when I was 15, I'm 23 now and still come back to it, cuz it's just that good

Getting to that 10 second round at the end is like winning the lottery.

[SkuezTech]

I absolutely love this exercise called "Rest", wish it lasted more than 20 seconds, though.

[danieldomingues]

By the end I wasn't doing jumping jacks, but waving for help...

[ue]

This is by far the best hiit workout on youtube. The time, workout structure and exercises are all perfect.

[jthomas]

Still doing this 9 years later! I havent done it consistently but its the perfect workout for a quick HIIT sesh to start your day

[sulabharora]

Been doing this for last 6 months 5 days a week. From 100 Kgs to 65 Kgs. My day isn’t complete without a HIIT workout.

[MLsmallpanic]

did the 1-minute jumping jack at the start, arms and legs wide apart and motion was considerably good. I felt so good about myself, thinking im close to a healthy lifestyle til i learned that it was only the warmup... Typing this after finishing my 2-hour recovery, which is basically lying on the floor crying. Keep it up guys.

Update: I lost 50 pounds from this workout:)

*A REVIEW FOR THIS WORKOUT (READ):*
Ive been doing this workout for about 2 months now, and i gotta say despite it being absolute cancer, clicking on this video was one of the best things ive done. I have done multiple workouts posted by fitness creators, personal trainers, etc. for the past 3 years now.. and while they were still effective, this specific workout has to be at the top of the list.

I LOST AROUND 20 POUNDS IN TWO MONTHS by doing this (along with some fasting and caloric deficit)
My metabolism is actual trash so no its not genetics, I promise you this is really EFFECTIVE.

Backstory: I gained MASSIVE weight this quarantine due to depression from 155lbs to 204lbs. Insane right? When people started to critic my weight, I had to do something about it and get back on my feet. I searched different workouts that would seem to be the most effective until I stumbled upon this video. The first time I did this, im gonna be completely honest with you all, I did not complete it nor do the workouts as intense as he did in the video. Despite being someone who was previously active in workouts, I couldnt do a single burpee without wanting to pass out. Although I only reached until the first 12 minutes of this video, to me I still felt accomplished since I sweated my ass off for the first time this year while having a heart attack. I then decided to motivate myself to do this workout atleast 4 times a week and made it a goal to one day be able to finish the entire workout. I've only been able to do the workout until 40 second mark for like 3 days.. until I saw some progress.. I begin to increase my stamina and strength the more I do it.. When at day 1, i had trouble carrying my own weight, in about a week I was able to finally complete the workout. Honestly I didnt do some workouts properly, such as the burpees and high knees, but still being able to finish the video was a huge accomplishment. After days of doing this workout, it suddenly becomes tolerable and a part of my routine.. I still pass out in some days but it became really manageable and more fulfilling to do. *You dont have to do this workout as 100% as the guy in the video I PROMISE, AS LONG AS YOU DO IT AND COUNT YOUR CALORIES YOU WILL SEE PROGRESS*

Together with taking care of my calorie intake and doing intermittent fasting (there are still days I dont fast and overeat ngl).. I am currently at 186lbs from 204lbs in 2 months. And I am planning to keep on doing this workout until I get back to my original weight. Kuddos to the creator of this "brutal" workout.. If ever you feel unsure about this workout, I hope my experience and insights would change your mind and push you to give this HIIT workout a try. *10/10 workout*

[jackywacky]

Great workout. Definitely gonna try these exercises! In my opinion they can lead to great results when combined with structured meal plan. Last week I took a plan from Next Level Diet. I'm already noticing solid results. The best thing is I don't have to go to the gym and I can eat food I like. 😘😘

You know what I like about your guy's videos? You're just regular real people. Take this guy for example, he's not super huge or has his shirt off 99% of the time, he just looks like some regular joe like me and hell, he even looks like he's hurting, just like me! I can relate more to this than any other type of videos because you guys are so personable and not robotic. Thumbs up.

[ayush]

This workout changed my life!! Like seriously! I am now just a soul looking for a new body ..

[IeldudeI]

I lost 20 pounds doing this video. Went from 169 to 149. 🔥 🔥 🔥. At first I would skip the burpees because it felt like my lungs were gonna explode. Now, 3 months after I can almost do a whole run. Lol

[oldmangeorge]

I'm 53 and have been doing this for probably seven years. I throw in a pushup during the burpees just to prove to myself I can do them. It's still my favorite quick workout when I don't have time to run in the morning.
