HIIT Workout

Swedish fitness blogger Faya Nilsson – Fitness on Toast – has teamed up with anti-perspirant brand Sure to create a HIIT (high intensity interval training) session that’s simple and quick enough to do in your lunchbreak.

The personal trainer devised her routine after research revealed over half of women feel they do not have enough time for a good workout. And more than a third are put off exercise at work by the prospect of getting sweaty and having bad body odour afterwards!

Faya believes her routine will leave lunchtime movers less stressed, re-energised and “ready to boss it” at work.
