If spending a few weeks in confinement has left you feeling restless and given you the urge to move around, then a high-intensity workout at home can help get your body moving without the need to go outside. Jump, stretch, bounce and shake off your excess energy with one of the following challenging workouts

Natacha Oceane

British biophysicist, sprinter, and Iron Man Natacha Oceane uses her Youtube channel to share videos approved by a GB Olympic athlete. One of her most recent, a 20-minute no-equipment Hiit workout is also no-impact and makes no noise, making it ideal for those who are worried about disturbing the neighbours. All you need is the space of a mat, and Natacha has included clear, timed intervals to make it easy to follow at home.

FitnessBlender

Husband-and-wife team Daniel and Kelli are the personal trainers behind the Youtube channel FitnessBlender, which can always be relied on for a challenging Hiit workout. There are already so many to choose from, but the duo has been posting some new content during the current lockdowns so you don't have to keep repeating the same old workouts. The recent Intense at Home Hiit workout is a good option, as it needs no equipment, includes both a warm-up and a cool-down and has some low-impact modifications for those who want something a little easier.

The Body Coach

British trainer Joe Wicks, aka The Body Coach, was already a household name in the UK, but he has become even more popular during the Covid-19 lockdown thanks to his new series of videos, designed for kids to do at home so they don't miss out on their school P.E. lessons. The 'P.E. with Joe' series can be found on his Youtube channel and is suitable for all the family, or those who want something that works up more of a sweat can choose one of his no-equipment, at-home Hiit workouts.
