Strong Legs and Buttock HIIT





The workout this week is designed to shape up your leg muscles and gluteus and get rid of some of that  bit of unnecesaary fat. Apart from that I have shown an adjusted routine also for people with pain/operation, etc in their knee joint. 

I am very excited about this latest workout. From personal experience, I know it sucks to have pain in your knee joint and that it takes a long time until it can recover completely. For this reason, I came up with this workout. These exercises will help your knee heal faster so that you can go back to your normal lifestyle and more intense workouts.

What is really important on the way to total recovery, is to be very careful with exercising and do not push it to levels that will slow down your progress. Therefore, although I know you might be willing to cardio exercises, may not be the best idea. The best way to know that is just to pay attention to how your knee feels with every movement you make.
