Absolutely—here’s the full written blueprint and solo movement flow for Essential HIIT Training. This style is built around short bursts of high effort, functional movement, and mindful intensity—designed to build cardiovascular strength, mental grit, and metabolic power without sacrificing presence.
ESSENTIAL HIIT TRAINING — FULL PRACTICE GUIDE
Theme: “Intensity with intention. Power with presence.”
Mood: Focused, high-energy, clear, grounded

Breath Activation (1–2 min):
• Box breathing: Inhale 4 sec → Hold 4 sec → Exhale 4 sec → Hold 4 sec
• Or: Inhale 3 sec → Exhale 6 sec (to shift into parasympathetic control)
Dynamic Warm-Up (4–5 min):

• Inchworm walkouts + mountain climbers
• 1–2 slow burpees to prime body and rhythm
