Month: April 2020

With gyms and stadiums closing due to the Circuit Breaker, online fitness classes are quickly filling in the gap, with many providing complimentary lessons.

These classes are normally 30 minutes in duration, very high intensity (duh, it’s HIIT), requires just a small amount of space and your body weight and can help burn lots of calories.

We ranked these HIIT classes in order of intensity so you can begin losing that Covid-fat.

Most of his exercises (so far) are relatively easy but packs a quick burn. Besides, he does the exercises with you, topless. 😉
