Exercising at home along with a healthy diet can help you maintain a healthy weight

Regular exercising is essential if you want to build muscle strength and boost your endurance. Exercising lends oxygen and nutrients to your tissues which in turn, help your organs function smoothly. If you work out regularly, you often find yourself pushing limits to increase your energy levels. High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) workouts, packed with intense exercises, tend to show effective results. And, to add fun some more fun to your sessions, fitness trainer Kayla Itsines is here with a HIIT Pyramid workout video. This is a part of her energy boost challenge. She demonstrated five exercises that you need to do continuously without resting in between. After that, you can take a break for 30 seconds and do the second round.

Wait, there is more. There is a time limit for each exercise. And, those who are opting for the workout session must keep up with the time, suggests Kayle. In a detailed caption, she has named those five exercises.

This program blends together a fast High-Intensity Interval Training format, with a strong focus on your core and abs," she said.
