The path to fitness is not an easy one. You need to follow a disciplined routine in order to achieve your goals. At times, it becomes difficult to draw a balance between office and workout routines. Under such circumstances, many end up skipping gym sessions. Well, seems like fitness trainer Kayla Itsines has a solution for all. She has shared high-intensity interval training exercises (HIIT) that can be easily done at home. "Getting a good workout in doesn't mean that you have to spend hours in the gym, and I know for a lot of people that isn't a realistic approach. This program blends together a fast High-Intensity Interval Training format, with a strong focus on your core and abs," she wrote along with the video.
