HIIT Workouts to Build VO2Max

My VO2Max has taken a big hit so I want to work on building it back. When it comes to improving VO2Max, HIIT workouts and Interval Training are the best ways. Information from the Physiological Society states that the most effective HIIT intervals are 60 seconds on; 60 seconds off.

These are some typical exercises that can be included in a HIIT program. Select a few to repeat following the 60 on; 60 off interval:

• Jump squat
• Mountain Climbers
• High knees
• Burpees
• Jumping jacks
• Jumping lunges
• Floor touches
• Pulsing jump squat
• Vertical jump
• Jog on the spot
• Walking high knees
• Invisible jump rope
• Skaters
• Side Climbers
• Plank Jacks
• Plank push-ups
• Jumps
• Squat with alternating knee pull
• Tuck jumps

Alternatively, you can do an interval program running, biking, rowing, or on an elliptical cycle. Go hard for 60 seconds and recover for 60 seconds. Repeat.
