With self-isolation and lockdowns being enforced throughout multiple countries across the globe, staying physically active and nurturing our mental health is now more important than <em>ever<\/em>.<\/p>&#13;\n&#13;\n<p>So, if you\u2019re finding yourself stuck at home and missing your routine gym visits, this blog outlines a simple HIIT workout you can easily do from the comfort of your living room &#8211; with useful videos you can follow along the way. Our <a href=\"https:\/\/last.bluefinfitness.com\/us\/vibration-plates\/\">vibration plates<\/a> provide a great method of enhancing your workouts and boosting calorie-burning potential, making them a brilliant fitness asset during these tough times at home.<\/p>&#13;\n&#13;\n<p>But most importantly, all of us here at Bluefin Fitness hope you\u2019re all keeping safe and healthy. And we hope this simple at-home workout is able to help support your fitness journey &#8211; even without access to your usual gym.<\/p>&#13;\n&#13;\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What You\u2019ll Need<\/strong><\/h2>&#13;\n&#13;\n<p>To give your workout an extra boost, we highly recommend incorporating a vibration plate into the mix. If you\u2019ve never used a vibrating plate before and aren\u2019t sure where to start, check out our <a href=\"https:\/\/last.bluefinfitness.com\/us\/which-vibration-plate-is-best-for-me\/\">simple guide<\/a> for choosing your perfect model.<\/p>&#13;\n&#13;\n<p>A couple of exercises require weights too, but don\u2019t worry too much if you don\u2019t have a bunch of professional weights at home. In these times, simply using a weighty bag of pasta or a couple of tins will do the trick &#8211; if you can get your hands on any!\u00a0<\/p>&#13;\n&#13;\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Vibration Plate Workout at Home<\/strong><\/h2>&#13;\n&#13;\n<p>Get your vibration plate up and running (we recommend our <a href=\"https:\/\/last.bluefinfitness.com\/us\/4d-vibration-plate\/\">4D model<\/a> for maximum effect), and begin a simple stepper routine. Keep going for a full 30 seconds, then rest for a further 30.<\/p>&#13;\n&#13;\n<p>This full workout follows a simple HIIT routine of 30 seconds on, 30 seconds off &#8211; but feel free to customise these timings to suit your ability. If you feel you can do a full minute, go for it!\u00a0<\/p>&#13;\n&#13;\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video aligncenter\"><video src=\"https:\/\/last.bluefinfitness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Video-4.mov\" controls=\"controls\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\"><\/video><\/figure>&#13;\n<p>Next, pick up a light weight and complete a second stepper exercise, this time with a little less impact to account for the weight. Again, 30 seconds on, 30 seconds off.\u00a0<\/p>&#13;\n&#13;\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video aligncenter\"><video src=\"https:\/\/last.bluefinfitness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Video-0.mov\" controls=\"controls\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\"><\/video><\/figure>&#13;\n<p>Still keeping hold of your weight and repeating the same stepping motion as before, raise the weight above your head &#8211; being sure to fully extend your arms. Working your arms, legs and core simultaneously, this is a great full-body exercise made even <em>more<\/em> effective with a vibration plate.<\/p>&#13;\n&#13;\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video aligncenter\"><video src=\"https:\/\/last.bluefinfitness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Video-5-Back-Kicks.mov\" controls=\"controls\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\"><\/video><\/figure>&#13;\n<p>Moving away from a stepper motion now, hold onto a weight in either hand and complete a series of simple back kicks. Try 15 seconds on each leg, maintaining balance on your vibration plate for the entire duration &#8211; or 30 seconds if you want to push yourself further.\u00a0<\/p>&#13;\n&#13;\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video aligncenter\"><video src=\"https:\/\/last.bluefinfitness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Video-3-Russian-Twists.mov\" controls=\"controls\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\"><\/video><\/figure>&#13;\n<p>Now for abs! Sit in the middle of the plate, and do 30 seconds of weighted Russian twists. But if you don\u2019t feel quite ready to include a weight just yet, simply hold your hands together at the centre of your body instead &#8211; being sure to keep your feet raised at all times.\u00a0<\/p>&#13;\n&#13;\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video aligncenter\"><video src=\"https:\/\/last.bluefinfitness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Video-1.mov\" controls=\"controls\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\"><\/video><\/figure>&#13;\n<p>And last but by no means least, power through 30 seconds of weighted sit ups. Raising your knees as you go, this is a great way to engage your core and improve balance.\u00a0<\/p>&#13;\n&#13;\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video aligncenter\"><video src=\"https:\/\/last.bluefinfitness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/VIdeo-2.mov\" controls=\"controls\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\"><\/video><\/figure>&#13;\n<p>And repeat all over again! Try to repeat this full HIIT circuit three times over, and you\u2019re sure to feel like you\u2019ve just spent a full session sweating it out in the gym.\u00a0<\/p>&#13;\n&#13;\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Stay fit!\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>&#13;\n&#13;\n<p>Super simple and able to be done virtually anywhere within your home, this easy vibration plate workout is ideal for these isolated times.<\/p>&#13;\n&#13;\n<p>Staying physically active is key not just for our bodies but our minds too.
