We have two different intensity half an hour workouts for you, depending on your physical fitness and how strong you are.
If you are struggling with the higher intensity one, just do that maybe once a week and try to increase it as the time goes on. It will get easier. Both of our workouts go by the HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) principles, which means that your body burn the most fat available and you get the most out of your workout. Doing a high intensity thirty minute workout is more effective for your body than doing a low intensity hour or more.
