HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training)

Believe me when I tell you this: there are better ways to get fit than waste hours in a gym lifting heavy weights or running on the treadmill. Don’t believe me? Welcome to HIIT.

If you want to be fit without having to put in a lot of time, then HIIT is definitely the right thing for you. However, before I move ahead with more details, let me warn you that this is not easy. If you’re used to the easy routine, then get ready for a shock as HIIT will test your skills.

The good news is that it gives awesome and guaranteed results - the effort is worth it! HIIT is a type of interval training that involves a mixture of maximum and low to moderate intensity exercises separated by intervals. This technique actually tests you as you have to break boundaries and reach a new level of personal fitness. This type of exercise can REALLY transform your physique. Think about the physique of a sprinter vs. a POWER LIFTER. The sprinter is lean, muscular, but toned - right? And the power lifter is usually pretty bulky - maybe even with a {few} layers of .... padding.

 

 

The advantages HIIT offers are unique & other regular exercises like jogging cannot provide the same results.

• It conditions both aerobic and anaerobic energy systems.
• You burn more amounts of calories in less time due to the training model. It also helps burn fat that is used as fuel.

 

 

This workout is for everyone who wishes to get results quickly and is willing to put in effort. If you are looking for LEAN muscle and a toned body - you should definitely consider including HIIT into your routine. By using this technique, exercisers can improve their stamina to give a better performance. However, this is not the best option for all types of sports. In certain cases, simple cardio or running may be better. Total duration of HIIT is not long and can be between 5 to 30 minutes. There are some awesome Beachbody workout programs available that highlight HIIT. These include Chalene Johnson’s Turbo Fire series and P90X®/TurboFire® Hybrid Worksheets that blends Chalene Johnson’s expertise with Tony’s intense workout to give you a perfect HIIT video guide.

 

Don't want to do a DVD program? That is ok... grab a jump rope, YouTube some high intensity moves, put them together on a list & HAMMER IT OUT!

If you need some suggestions for workouts - JUST ASK! 

 

Have an excellent day!
