Get Fit Fast With This Functional HIIT By Yasmin Karachiwala

If you are a fitness enthusiast, there may be times when you want to take your workout to another level. If you are looking forward to adding that element of zing into your workouts, take a look at fitness trainer Yasmin Karachiwala's Instagram post, where she demonstrated “functional HIIT” for her followers. How often do you really do HIIT workouts? HIIT, or high intensity interval training, not only pushes your body to perform workouts at a faster rate, but also improves the ability to use and burn energy. A good energetic workout makes your day and keeps you motivated.

In the caption, Yasmin wrote, “I've added dumbbells into the workouts (listen to your body for the weights needed, I am using 4 kgs dumbbells to crush my upper body). Remember, it's not how much you lift, but how you lift.”

We can see Yasmin rigorously performing the HIIT workout in the video. In the caption, she also mentioned, “This workout was fire, I am still burning.”
