HIIT advice for someone new!

[Folkadots]

Any top tips/advice/routines/exercises that people can recommend?

My normal fitness regime is walking and swimming and some yoga. I want to start incorporating some HIIT and some strengthening exercises. All that I can do in home/garden.

I have a mild prolapse so avoid high impact exercises and weights - most HIIT I've looked at seems to be very high impact.

Any general or specific advice and ideas very welcome!

HIIT is high impact (hence the name!) and usually involves lots of jumping.

I think you probably want more Strength type classes. Similar stuff but you typically go slower and do more reps of the same exercise looking to build up weights.

Im not sure exactly what to recommend with your prolapse but there’s lots of good youtubes. I did a lot of madfit during the pandemic. Maybe get yourself a small/medium set of dumbbells if you want to go from home.

Otherwise something like rowing is very good but you probably would need to head for the gym for that unless you want to invest in a rowing machine.

Sorry if I'm being daft but doesn't HIIT stand for high intensity interval training, not high impact? 🤔
I just did a quick Google for high intensity low impact interval training and that apparently is a thing. Search for HILIT routines and you might find something suitable, I haven't done any so can't recommend but links like there are plenty to try I'm youtube.

@Dumbles yes most stuff seems to be high impact. I'm okay with doing some but if I do too much it worsens the prolapse which I've worked hard to get better!

@Anawi thank you I'll have a google.of that. I want the sweat and benefits etc and sometimes low impact stuff seems to be easier which is irritating!

I would suggest the Caroline Girvan calisthenics series which just uses body weight
