What is HIIT ? Will HIIT really make you lose fat, burn fat and gain muscle? HIIT or High Intensity Interval Training will involve doing exercise with high intensity at a level that is straining and stretching you a little bit then you will have a rest and recovery period then repeat the process again. High Intensity means it all depends on you and your level of fitness. For example your intense interval could be
sprint for 100 yards
jog for 2 minutes
walk around the block quickly for beginners
HIIT is not limited to running and can be applied to many sports like bicycling, swimming, weight lifting, etc. Interval Training is a contrast to the steady state. A steady state would be like jogging for 30 minutes while in interval training you jog for 2 minutes then walk for 2 minutes - then rest and recovery then repeat as many times as necessary. Studies have shown that HIIT workout can be better that steady state workout because it gives faster results, fewer workouts each week, and shorter workouts. Some HIIT methods include:
HIIT - QUICK AB WORKOUT
TABATA method
Turbulence training
Little Method
HIIT workout are intense so you should start slowly and build your way up. Before you start the exercise program or any for that matter you should first consult your doctor if it is recommended for you and always warm up before you start your exercise.
