What is HIIT ? (High-Intensity Interval Training) 

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 and How Often Should You Do It ?

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

What are the benefits of HIIT?

✅ Weight Loss ? Yes - It burns more calories in less time.
✅ Continues burning calories even after you stop
✅ Improves heart health
✅ Boosts metabolism
✅ Reduces blood sugar
✅ Increases fitness level
✅ Can HIIT help with muscle building - Absolutely!
✅ No equipment necessary
✅ Can be done anywhere - Home, Outdoors, Gym etc.

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

Pro Tip:

  • Start Slowly - 1 to 2 times a week
  • Listen to your body
  • Consult your doctor if you have health concerns
  • Mix it up with running, cycling and bodyweight exercises

Ready to revolutionize your fitness > HIIT might just be your new best friend!

When working out I adhere to an HIIT weight lifting routine 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 strongly encourage you to check out his website - www.tylerrabin.com.

My HIIT weightlifting routine builds muscle but HIIT also promotes fat loss 

  • Day 1 - Heavy Chest and Arms
  • Day 2 - Heavy Back and Shoulders
  • Day 3 – Light Chest, Arms, Back and Shoulders:
  • I also Ruck currently 5 days a week
I am a staunch advocate of the HIIT approach
