Consider Tabata training.

Izumi Tabata, a Japanese scientist, invented this form of high-intensity interval training activity. It involves periods of intense exercise with a high heart rate, followed by shorter recovery intervals, similar to other kinds of HIIT. Tabata training involves doing the same activity for eight sets of 20 seconds of work and 10 seconds of rest. Tabata rounds last 4 minutes in total. Tabata is often practiced with simply bodyweight movements, but you can add light resistance to some activities like squats by utilizing bands or low-weight dumbbells. Exercises can also be done Tabata-style using equipment like a jump rope, Hula Hoop, or mini-trampoline. If you're feeling up to it, you can do numerous rounds, each time doing a different exercise and taking at least a 1-minute pause before beginning the next activity. Read on for four Tabata-style exercises you can do in single rounds or in succession for a total-body HIIT workout. Important note: Before starting any new workout program, consult your physician.
