ABC11's Bridget Condon and Brittany Bell tried it out.

Fitness Coach, Courtney Lunny, put the two ABC11 employees to the test during a 30-minute HIIT workout.
Lunny said HIIT is one of the most effective workouts because it is short, challenging and free.

HIIT can be done in a gym, in your house or on a track.

You don't need any equipment except for your own body.

HOW TO DO IT:
The warm-up included: 30 jumping jacks, 20 squats and 15 push-ups.
Then came the circuit training -- which means 30 seconds of hard work, followed by 30 seconds of rest.
So, 30 seconds of:
high knees
