HIIT: The Workout that Packs a Punch in Half the Time !

What is HIIT ?

High-Intensity Interval Training ( HIIT) is a super-efficient workout that alternates between short bursts of intense exercise and brief recovery periods. Think of it as fast-forward!

How Does It Work?

• Push yourself hard for 30 seconds to 3 minutes
• Take a short rest
• Repeat
• Total workout time: About 30 minutes

Why HIIT Rocks: 

• Burns more calories in less time
• Improves heart health
• Boosts metabolism 
• Reduces blood sugar
• Continues burning calories even after you stop
• Increases fitness level
• No equipment necessary
• Can be done anywhere - Home, Outdoors, Gym etc.

Who can do HIIT ? Everyone! The beauty of HIIT is that "high intensity" is totally personal. Beginners can start slow and gradually increase intensity.

Pro Tips:

• Start Slowly
• Listen to your body
• Consult your doctor if you have health concerns
• Mix it up with running, cycling and bodyweight exercises

Caution: Not recommended for those with

• Recent injuries

When weight lifting I follow the HIIT approach using a pyramid system with heavy weights and controlled negatives. For example, my heavy bicep workout includes Preacher Curls, progressing from 115 lbs. to 160 lbs. with a focus on slow controlled movements. Initially I took no rest between lifts then based on the advice of a trainer that I spoke with I first went to 60 seconds between lifts then eventually to 90 seconds between lifts. This has resulted in strength increases that I wasn't seeing previously and which I didn't think were possible at my age. I just retired and my salary was cut significantly so unfortunately we are cutting back on expenses and I can't afford this trainer's services however I was impressed in speaking with him and if I had the money his services would be a good investment. I encourage you to check out his website - www.tylerrabin.com. 

Weightlifting Routine: I lift weights 3 days a week with a Heavy Chest and Arm day, a Heavy Back and Shoulders day and a Light day of Chest, Arms, Back and Shoulders:

• Day 1: Heavy Chest and Arms
• Day 2: Heavy Back and Shoulders
• Day 3: Light Chest, Arms, Back and Shoulders

This High Intensity Interval Training approach builds muscle and promotes fat loss.
