HIIT When you want to get in shape, it can sometimes be difficult to choose the right training program. An excellent workout program is HIIT or High Intensity Interval Training. What is HIIT? It’s simple – you are alternating between short intense anaerobic exercises with less-intense recovery periods. HIIT is excellent if you need to get your workout done in a shorter amount of time. HIIT has been proven to improve athletic capacity, conditioning, glucose metabolism and fat burning. Studies indicate that that even a short program of two and a half hours a week can result in the same improvement as if you were spending nearly ten hours a week at the gym with traditional “less intense” training! This high intensity workout routine teaches your body how to metabolize fat, sugars and increase those processes faster. HIIT also significantly reduces insulin resistance and allows for skeletal muscle adaptations that will result in a better muscle fat oxidation and improved glucose function. HIIT works by training and conditioning both anaerobic and aerobic exercise levels. By pushing your body beyond what it is used to. These all-out efforts help increase the total amount of overall calories you burn during your training session. One of the best benefits of HIIT is what’s known as EPOC – excess post oxygen consumption, which essentially means that you are still burning fat up to 24 hours after your HIIT session. So, even without doing anything at home, after a good HIIT session, your body will still be acting as if you are at the gym working hard. If you are serious about fat burning first, HIIT may be the program right for you. As you progress with your HIIT sessions, you will soon see other added benefits to it. For instance, your muscles are able to increase their oxygen consumption as your overall aerobic ability is increased through your training. You’ll also see an increased lactate threshold meaning those burning thighs won’t bother you as early in your workout as they used to. These HIIT sessions are also helping you increase the effects of anabolic exercise. So why dont you HIIT it at FIT Fitness Intensity Training
