Loving the HIIT workout ideas – Thanks so much!

That’s a great info-graphic! I am also a complete HIIT fan. After all what’s better than a short duration workout that losses fat faster than any cardio and also builds muscles. I do my routine using a 7 minute workout app (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/7-minute-fitness-workout/id661022809) and it works amazing!
