There is no doubt that after two weeks of mandatory quarantine, we are all become pretty bored of the repetitive and uneventful days.

Therefore, here is a ten minute HIIT workout - no repeat and no equipment- that you can do at home.

HIIT stands for High Intensity Interval Training and studies around the world have shown that it is a great and effective way to get in shape.

The way a HIIT session works is that you drill intensely through an exercise followed by a short recovery period.

For today’s workout, we have 10 exercises 45 seconds on with 15 seconds rest:

1. Jumping Jacks are a great cardio exercise to get your heart pumping and start your workout.
