HIIT Archives - Wildcat Fitness

I have been a huge fan of fit fashion destination Active in Style for literally years now – they launched in the UK over three years go, aiming to feature a curated collection of the best activewear from a round the world, and they have not only succeeded in this (opening their beautiful Kings Road concept store last year) but also creating a community both on and off-line of fit, fashionable females who want to live their best active life. So when they asked me if I’d like to host one of their regular #RUNCHELSEA workouts as a guest trainer I didn’t hesitate to say yes!

So earlier today, in the beautiful West London sunshine, I lead a group of 25 eager exercise enthusiasts on a 5k run through Chelsea and Battersea Park, stopping for an intense 10 minute HIIT workout halfway through. What exactly did this entail?

Last week, courtesy of fellow fitness bloggers and uber babes Lu de Lux and Pig to Rig I was invited to the Serpentine in Hyde Park to take part in the launch event for Aquaphysical who in their words “enjoy using the natural fluidity of water to achieve flexibility, stability and strength” on the very first water based responsive exercise mat. When I received the invitation my fitness curiosity got the better of me and I instantly accepted, but as the date drew nearer and reports were growing that the launch date was going to be the hottest day in London for 10 years I could barely contain my excitement. I’ve often seen or heard about people who go swimming in the Serpentine (which runs through London’s gorgeous Hyde Park) and quite frankly always thought they must be mad to willingly throw themselves into freezing cold Thames water, but on Wednesday evening with the temperature still north of 30 degrees I couldn’t think of anything better.
