Warm up with joint mobility and dynamic movement.  Today we are going to do some HIIT training. Timed sets all out for multiple rounds. The bullet points below are from Tony Shober's blog.

• HIIT training trains the body to effectively remove metabolic waste from the muscles between intervals. By quickly removing lactate and other byproducts resulting from high intensity exercise, you enable the body to be primed and ready for another bout of high intensity exercise with less rest.
• HIIT training is one of several ways to boost both testosterone and growth hormone levels. Since these hormones are highly responsible for muscle gain and fat loss, you should be doing all you can to keep levels high. You can boost testosterone by following these tips, and you can naturally increase growth hormone levels by following these. "
