Ready to take on the first challenge of 2022? Here are Danny’s tips and insights on the Super HIIT challenge.
Who is your challenge for?
This challenge is for anyone looking to take their fitness and confidence to the next level, increasing your sense of pride, self-belief and achievement.
What modifications can we make if we're beginners or returning to exercise after a break?
You always have the option of regressing the exercises to suit your current fitness level or capabilities, we often give alternatives during the masterclasses to allow for everyone to work at their own pace. It’s always a great idea to gradually build abc up if you’re coming off a break or just beginning, lay the foundations in week 1 and then begin to build on your efforts each week.
How can we continue to KIC' goals throughout the six weeks?
Throughout the 6 weeks it’s extremely important to be super clear on what your goals and intentions are, not only for the 6 weeks, but each and every single day. Remain accountable by sharing your goals with family, friends, a workout partner, or even yourself by writing down your intentions in a journal.
What are your tips to boost motivation?
Motivation will come and go, that’s inevitable, but by knowing your why (the real honest reason as to why you want to improve your life with health and fitness) you are able to remind yourself exactly why you started in the first place.
Measuring your progress (example: Lifting 5kg in week 1 and then doing the same exercise with 8kg in week 6) will allow you to see the progressive overload that you’ve been able to achieve, from that point onwards consistency and momentum will be your best friend, the more consistency and momentum you have, the easier it is to stay motivated and driven.
I also often find that by reminding yourself of how far you’ve come along the journey, it gives you a lot of confidence and a sense of pride knowing that you’ve been able to get to this point, which only motivates you even more to continue to grow and evolve.
What are some ways we can hold ourselves accountable during the challenge?
3 great ways to remain accountable throughout the 6 weeks would be to:

We're so excited for Super HIIT! What do these workouts involve?

In this week’s episode Steph and Laura are chatting about all things nutrition with KIC’s incredible dietitian Liv Morrison.
My core motivation for moving my body is for the incredible impact it has on my mental health, and so through isolation I have really tried to make sure I have been doing things that positively impact my mental health while I am still resting, like meditation.
