ZB's YouTube Cavern #3



Getting HIIT in the Face


On my first YTC I mentioned that we all end up in our own internet wormholes for better or worse. Well for todays post I wanted to share a cavern that's definitely for the better: a mondo workout routine that I crushed early this AM.

HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training) is one hell of a way to workout, especially if you are time crunched and want to burn calories fast. I don't do it all the time, but try to incorporate a HIIT at least once or twice a week. This video above was insanely difficult and is one of the most challenging YouTube workouts I've ever attempted. Anna (the workout leader whose YouTube channel is here) kicks ass - I was dying by the end and she was still going strong. Very inspirational.



The Ukranian Madman's Mondo Ab Crusher


After the HIIT I decided to go full throttle and attempted this ab workout lead by Igor Voitenko (his channel is here). This guy is hilarious - his thick Eastern European accent is great and his videos are pretty challenging. I was basically dying by the end of this one lol.

That's it - just wanted to share a circuit that I thought was engaging, difficult, and rewarding. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to sweat! 

It's super cool how many follow-along workout routines are on YT. I like to switch it up every now and then and it's nice that there's so much content to choose from (I actually had never done either of these specific routines until today).

There's also some great Yoga content on YouTube as well. Shout out to Chris who showed me SaraBethYoga, I've been enjoying her videos a lot. Might have to get a sesh in later.

One things for sure - YouTube is a bastion for anyone looking to stay active while cooped up during the pandy. If you don't want to spend the money on expensive virtual training equipment, look no further.
