7 Reasons to Try High-Intensity Interval Training

If you’re already a fan of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) or have heard the buzz surrounding it, you know that it’s a super fast, very effective way to work out.

If you’re still not convinced that HIIT is worth a try, read on for even more of its advantages.

To lose weight, should you spend your gym time doing more cardio or more strength training? Well, it really depends on what you mean by “lose weight.” If you are in an epic battle with your scale, cardio is the way to go. If you want to look steamy under those fall sweaters, though, it’s time to cozy up to strength training.

Weight training, as the name suggests, is a type of strength training that primarily focuses on developing the strength and size of skeletal muscles. Also known as resistance training, it involves the use of force of gravity in the form of weights such as dumbbells and barbells against the force generated by the muscles through contraction. It places stress on the muscles, causing them to become stronger. In the course of training, muscle fibers are broken down which get repaired in the days to follow and thus, become stronger.

Interval Training For Beginners

Anonymous 4:48 PM Add Comment Edit

Research from the Mayo Clinic and several universities has proven that interval training is more effective than your average cardio workout. Oh and it’s do-able in less than half the time. But, before you get started on your HIIT routine, know your fitness level. This isn’t easy work and you really have to push yourself or you won’t be getting the full advantage. In fact, if you are prone to taking lots of breaks, prep yourself. The key to interval training is the rapid increase in heart rate between SHORT periods of rest. Your exertion should be much more than your break. But, it’s super important to actively rest. Keep moving between the high intensity intervals.
