High Intensity Interval Training – (HIIT)

by -

High Intensity Interval Training.

High Intensity Interval Training or HIIT alternates short periods of intense cardiovascular exercise with less intense anaerobic exercises recovery cycles until the point of exhaustion.

Results are impressive, and have converted HIIT into one of the most popular forms of physical training. Very popular with gym-goers and health enthusiasts all over the globe.
HIIT’s popularity comes from the fact that sessions are over much shorter than most workouts. Add the fact that the number of calories burned in minutes would require hours of cardio workouts.
An example would be to alternate walking and sprinting every 30 seconds. Then repeat the process for a number of rounds.
Some people will sprint for 30 seconds and stand still the next 30 seconds to catch their breath.

But does HIIT have to be running-based all of the time?  Absolutely not. Here are some non-running-based examples of HIIT you could try.

Swimming

Swimming can actually be adapted to give you a very effective HIIT-based workout indeed. People often think of swimming as a low-impact endurance-based form of cardiovascular exercise, and while this is true, it can always be adapted to meet your HIIT needs. Swimming is great for the body because it helps to tone the muscles as it is resistance-based. This is due to the fact that you are fighting the water when you swim, so resistance is coming from the water. To perform a simple HIIT workout while swimming, simply perform some basic low-intensity swimming strokes that you’re comfortable with for around 30 seconds. Next, switch to a higher gear and swim as quickly and as intensely as you possibly can for the next 30 seconds. Repeat this process for around 8 – 10 rounds, making sure to really push yourself during the high intensity part of the exercise.

Cycling

Cycling is another form of cardiovascular exercise that is hugely beneficial, and highly underrated. When we cycle, we burn calories and helping to increase our endurance. We are also toning the muscles, especially those in our legs as we pedal. Head out on your bike somewhere relatively flat and quiet, where you can pick up speed and maintain it consistent. Then, simply cycle slowly and carefully for 30 seconds, and then accelerate as quickly as you can, for the next 30 seconds. Repeat this for another 8 – 10 rounds

High Intensity Interval Training is a modern solution in the fast paced world of today.

Weight Loss and Fitness – The unbreakable bond. Use it to your advantage.

Weight Loss and Fitness – How to benefit from both.

Weight Loss and Fitness

If you’ve decided you want to lose some weight (whether it be just a few pounds or a large chunk of your body mass), chances are you’ve done the research on diets, plans, gyms, exercises, and anything that you can find on that subject. You’ve probably seen that most credible sources will tell you that weight loss and fitness are strongly related. If not, that’s what I’ll tell you now.

Something to think about.

If you want to lose weight, you first need to evaluate a few truths. The most obvious is that if you burn off more calories than you eat, you will lose weight. You can either chose to do no “extra” exercise and eat very, very little in order to lose weight, or you can stick to a plan that will burn off enough calories and allow you not to starve yourself. It’s also important to note that overly-decreasing your calorie intake can backfire on you because your body will slow your metabolism down in order to accommodate this adjustment in calorie intake. This will cause you to actually gain weight instead of lose it.

The next fact is that a combination of water and oxygen leads to fat burning. Make sure that you are getting at least a half gallon of water every day. Your body will use this water when you exercise, and cause you to lose weight in a healthy way. Again, you must combine your water intake with some form of aerobic exercise (increased oxygen) for this to work. Choose something that you like and can do on a regular basis like Walking, biking, swimming, yard work, etc. As long as you get your heart rate up a little bit, it’s a good fat burning exercise.

Be consistent.

Finally, consistency is the key when it comes to your weight loss and fitness plan. So many people jump into something quickly with the mindset that they will just keep up the pace for a couple of weeks or a couple of months and then they can go back to their usual life.

Commitment.

In reality, your plan should be a life-long commitment. Even after you lose the weight, in order to maintain your goal weight, you need to eat right and get some activity in. So, pick an activity that you enjoy (or that you don’t mind so much). Walking is one favorite. If you live in the city, you can actually walk part of the way to work, save on gym expenses, and not have to worry about finding time in your day to exercise. If not, no matter where you live, you can probably find the time to take a 20-minute brisk walk around your neighborhood. Bring a buddy along to keep you entertained and you’ll see that the time flies.

The connection between weight loss and fitness is too strong to ignore. So, pick your plan and stick with it for life.
