Ignite is a 30 minute mostly high impact workout. It has a 30/30 format — 30 seconds of work, and 30 seconds of rest. It is advanced, and I would rate it in between Cathe’s Hiit 40/20 (which I think is harder) and 30/30 (which is easier) in terms of intensity.

For some, the warm up may feel too fast, and so it may need a few minutes of prior warm-up.
