May 24, 2021
Ready to try training that will help you find fitness fun?
Low Impact HIIT with Samantha is an eight-week training program you can do at home, without equipment.
Low-impact high-intensity interval training (HIIT) is a great option if you’re looking for joint-friendly workouts that will work up a sweat. HIIT maximises your results in a short space of time because you work out in intervals of maximal effort (followed by rests), which boosts the effects of the training — you’ll be burning energy long after the session is complete.
Trainer Samantha Ortiz-Young is a motivating and experienced trainer based in Brooklyn, New York and her program is designed to help ease you back into fitness and build up your strength and endurance.
