Are you not feeling as fit as you\u2019d like to, and the idea of working out for 8 minutes sounds like too much hard work? Well, you\u2019re in luck \u2013 because scientists have devised a short but extreme exercise program guaranteed to whip you into shape in less time.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Just a heads-up: If you\u2019re not so fit, get the medical all-clear first before trying this, and to make sure you\u2019re getting the most from this scientifically-researched workout program, read all about high intensity interval training (HIIT)<\/a> and be ready for 7 glorious sweaty minutes of working out!<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

1. Jumping jacks<\/strong><\/p>\n

Do as many reps of each exercise as you can in 30 seconds, then have a 10-second break (maximum) before moving on to the next one. Jump while spreading arms and legs, opening feet wide.<\/p>\n

2. Wall sit<\/strong><\/p>\n

Slowly slide down until thighs are parallel to floor. Hold briefly. Repeat.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

3. Push-up<\/strong><\/p>\n

Set hands slightly wider than shoulder width, push up until arms are straight.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

4. Abdominal crunch<\/strong><\/p>\n

With knees bent and feet flat, lift head and shoulders up.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

5. Step-up<\/strong><\/p>\n

Step-up on to the chair; step up and down, switching legs each time.<\/p>\n

6. Squat<\/strong><\/p>\n

Slowly bend legs until thighs are parallel to floor, extending arms out straight.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

8. Plank<\/strong><\/p>\n

Support body on balls of feet; hold for 30 seconds.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

9. High knees running<\/strong><\/p>\n

Stand tall, run in place as fast as you can, keeping knees up.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

11. Rotational push-up<\/strong><\/p>\n

As you push up, rotate body so right arm lifts up overhead. Return to start, rotate, lifting left arm.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

12. Side plank<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lie on right side on elbow, push up to form a triangle. Hold for 30 seconds, then switch sides.<\/p>\n
