High Intensity Interval Training
Many people adopt an “all or nothing” mentality to exercise. A client recently said to me “If I can’t devote an hour to exercise, why bother?” However,
he NEVER seemed to find that full hour. So, he didn’t exercise at all.
Life can be busy, leaving little time for working out. Thankfully, high intensity interval training (known as HIIT) is a time-sensitive and highly
effective solution you can use anywhere. HIIT is a workout that alternates between quick bursts of high-intensity activity followed by rest or periods
of low-intensity activity. Even just 15 minutes of HIIT 3 times per week has shown to maximize aerobic and anaerobic fitness through increasing
metabolic rate, muscle endurance, fat and calorie burn (both during and after workouts), while maintaining muscle mass. Here are some ideas so
you can easily squeeze HIIT into your hectic schedule and still have time to enjoy the rest of your day.
