Loading …By: Dr. Phoenyx AustinOne of the most common excuses people give for not exercising is that they don’t have time.

With high intensity interval training becoming one of the hot trends of the last few years in the fitness industry there is one burning question which most gym enthusiasts want to ask – can you build muscle and maintain it with HIIT?The old approach, of course, is to do a resistance session and then jump on a bike for some light cardiovascular work to get yourself into the so-called ‘fat burning zone’. []However, this is now considered as yesterday’s advice. Modern science has seen high intensity interval training become one of the most sought after methods when it comes to fat loss, and more recent studies have also shown it to be an excellent method for those looking to increase lean muscle mass, too.That’s right, performing a high intensity cardio workout is actually superior not only for burning fat but also for building lean tissue! While this is probably music to the ears of all those gym enthusiasts who find cardiovascular activity to be somewhat dull, it does come with a few warnings.It would be foolish to jump straight in, of course, without taking a few minutes to learn some of the basic principles which HIIT operates around. People often buy into opinions in the fitness world, rather than stone cold facts

What is HIIT, exactly?High Intensity Interval Training are workouts can be done just about anywhere and at anytime. HIIT isn’t necessarily about the exercise, the equipment, or the workout location. The name gives away the secret to its success …the intensity MUST be high to receive the benefits. In other words, you have to be willing to go harder than you normally do and get a bit uncomfortable.The good news is, HIIT doesn’t have to be an hour long workout. Most HIIT workouts will only ask you to work or be “uncomfortable” for 10-75 seconds before offering a brief recovery period

The Tabata Method, or perhaps more widely known through celebrities and the media as ‘The 4 minute fat burning miracle workout’, is based on High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT), rather than the more commonly used endurance training often associated with going to the gym.Where does the Tabata Method come from?Tabata is named after Professor Izumi Tabata who carried out a training study on his Olympic team in 1996. He decided to split his Olympic speed skater team into two and train them differently to see which reaped the greater training benefit.One group trained at what’s called a ‘Steady state’ – 70% VO2max (70% of the maximum capacity to transport oxygen round the body whilst exercising), the other group trained by using 20 seconds of ultra-intense exercise (at an intensity of about 170% of VO2max) followed by 10 seconds of rest, repeated continuously for 4 minutes (8 cycles).The results?The ‘steady state’ group achieved a higher VO2max on completion, but the Tabata group who had started lower, gained more overall. In addition only the Tabata group had gained anaerobic capacity benefits – meaning being able to live without air for a period of time.OK, so I know most of us aren’t Olympians and therefore you probably just want to know what this actually means in layman’s terms for you.

If you’ve been following along the past couple of weeks, you’ll remember that we’re well on our way to detailing the steps to successfully burn fat. To make it easier to follow, I’ve broken the steps up into an easy-to-remember acronym: SPRING.The SPRING acronym has been covered in several different posts, starting with a post on the Science of weight loss, which reminded us that 3,500 calories burned equals one pound of weight loss. In my last post, I discussed the P or the Physician approval portion of starting a new exercise routine, and also the R, or the goal of Raising your heart rate with cardiovascular exercise.Today, I want to take that a step further and talk about the I and the N of SPRING:I – Interval TrainingThe other type of cardiovascular exercise is called interval training or HIIT, high intensity interval training. This type of exercise combines a period of high intensity effort with periods of lower intensity effort.
