You are part of the MYZONE® Community, enough said!

The 2017 HIIT Workout will take approximately 30-40 minutes, not including a warm up and cool down.  We recommend a 5 to 10 minute warm up in the BLUE and GREEN zones before you begin (here are some examples of dynamic warm up exercises you can use) and a 5-minute cool down in the BLUE and GRAY zones at the end.

This workout is designed to keep your heart rate up in the YELLOW zone during the work phases and recover your heart rate down into the GREEN zone during recovery.  Challenge your muscular fitness and cardio simultaneously while burning through this workout!
