Try This Routine: A 20-Minute Run Followed By This HIIT At Home

You don't need to spend an hour in a studio to get the perfect full-body burn. This at-home HIIT workout will tighten and tone all your areas in less than the time it would've taken to find parking for your class.

We recently picked up the perfect routine from Liz Smithers, the Kauai-based yogi behind Laka Living. As a business owner and mama, Liz's schedule is a busy one, and sometimes getting to a class just isn't in the cards. Instead of putting exercise to the wayside, she merely shifted her approach and created this incredibly dynamic full-body workout to do at home.

Before. you make your way through this routine, go for a 20-30 minute walk or jog and then do this HIIT workout once home...
