Are you wondering where you will find the time this week to fit a workout into the Christmas shopping, turkey collecting, house decorating madness? Don\u2019t panic \u2013 I have got you covered with a speedy 10 minute Christmas HIIT!<\/span><\/p>\n

This is a great one as you don\u2019t need any equipment and you can take it literally anywhere \u2013 even the garden (if you\u2019re feeling brave) \u2013 minimal space needed! So, if you\u2019re beginner level go for 10 reps of each, intermediate try 15 and if you\u2019re really wanting to feel the burn go for 20!<\/span><\/p>\n

7 exercises, 3 rounds \u2013 let me know how you get on! If you want any guidance on how to do the exercises, check out my Instagram post on it <\/span>here<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Squats<\/strong> \u2013 remember to keep the core engaged, chest proud and weight in the heels.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Drop squats<\/strong> \u2013 strong core, strong legs and squeeze those glutes.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Mountain climbers<\/strong> \u2013 don\u2019t forget to engage with the arms and core to prevent the body swinging from side to side.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Skaters<\/strong> \u2013 make sure you execute each rep fully and focus on that core and balance.<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Jacks<\/strong> \u2013 get the heart rate up!<\/span><\/li>\n
  6. Forward lunges<\/strong> \u2013 drive through the front heel, keep the upper body upright and tall and keep that core engaged.<\/span><\/li>\n
  7. Plank taps<\/strong> \u2013 focus on not letting your body move from side to side as you do these, lift through the quads and engage your core!<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    And for anyone who might have issues with knees or need to avoid high impact you can substitute the drop squats for low impact high knee marches on the spot and you can also take out the forward lunges & do plain squats (not too low) or step ups on a stair\/step.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Let me know how you get on! Have a fabulous Christmas!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    If you\u2019re looking for a regular, quick class to fit into your busy week? Here\u2019s a little info about Caroline\u2019s Circuits \u2013 I\u00a0have long since been an advocate of strength training, particularly for women, and with this in mind I built my platform \u2013 Caroline\u2019s Circuits. My workouts are 3 times a week for just 30 minutes. They focus on strength-based circuits which work different muscle groups and challenge the body, keeping the heart rate moderate to high with passive or active rest \u2013 they give the perfect mix of strength and cardio for the best results.<\/span><\/p>\n

    The workouts are Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 9am (they are all recorded and available to you on demand within an hour of the session if you can\u2019t make the live) and are available worldwide. Classes have been specifically designed to suit all fitness levels and create fitness habits which last & which produce results.<\/span><\/p>\n
