OK, here we are on our 3rd High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) workout! This workout is programmed for someone who either 1) doesn’t have enough time, 2) wants something new to add to a boot camp class, or 3) just wants to mix up their personal work-out regimen.
If you want to see the other two previously posted HIT workouts, here they are: HIIT Series – #1 No-Time-To-Get-Fit and HIIT Series – #2 Cardio Havoc.
Push through this one to the end. You’ll love the feeling of accomplishment!
(1) 15 High Knees (each side): Shoulders relaxed, focus on bringing your knee 90°, opposite leg should be driving into the ground to aid the height of the bent knee.

(2) 10 Tricep Dips (hands on the floor or on a step): Dip as quickly as you can. Watch the video for form tips

(3) 5 each side Plank Knee-to-Elbows: watch the video for form tips, but you will go a lot quicker than the video displays. ((Note: I have to fix the sound on this video during the form alterations part, but there’s enough sound to let you understand what to do. Let me know if it doesn’t make sense.))

Form Alterations (as seen in the video) include: one knee on the ground while the other knee comes up to touch your elbow, knee halfway up to elbow, or low plank knee-to-elbow.
INSTRUCTIONS:
-Repeat the series of exercises starting every minute on the minute for 10 minutes. For clarification, you will start your high knees when you start your stop watch. Once you finish all high knees, tricep dips and knee-to-elbow exercises, look at the stop watch. You have until it reaches 1:00 to rest. When it hits 1:00, start your high knees. When you finish your last knee-to-elbow, you will look at the clock. You have until 2:00 to rest, etc.
-If 10 is too easy, try to add a minute, and keep going up until you’re maxed out.
