Don't make HIIT into a miss! – Health & Fitness Advisory

July 5, 2013

The main reason that most people start a new diet, exercise program or keep fit routine, is to lose weight. Ask any one of them which is the perfect way to drop pounds and the usual answer will be, “as quickly as possible.” This is why high intensity interval training, or HIIT, has become so popular recently. Its devotees claim that it gets you lean and trim in less time. This program might not be for everyone and it is worth taking time to examine it more closely before you commit to HIIT.HIIT is a way of training that uses short intervals of exercise at maximum intensity, interspaced with longer intervals of exercise at a more moderate intensity. The idea is that because you keep pushing yourself beyond your normal aerobic limits you increase the amount of calories burnt during and after the session as it takes longer for your body to recover.

Warrior Fit Testimonials

First, I want to say thank you for convincing me to do Tabata! I was struggling to lose weight and Finally I found something that helped! I really appreciate your coaching! - Craig T.

Ever since I was convinced to do Tabata I have seen huge results, I lost 6 pounds and gained energy in the first 3 weeks. I have been working out for 3 months before I decided to do Tabata and I struggled to lose weight. At first I thought "How am I losing weight by bringing my heart rate up then cooling down then bringing it up again?" I don’t know how it works but it does! Thank you!! - Theresa F.

The first day of Tabata, I wondered WHAT AM I DOING - I AM 56 !! Five weeks later I knew that it was what I needed. I learned that I could push myself well beyond my comfort zone and feel good later. I have a marked improvement in physical as well as emotional endurance. - Lyn C.

When I was first told about Tabata I was very excited from the word go, however that excitement stemmed from the fact that I had no clue what it meant. I missed the first week of class b/c I was traveling for work so when I came in during the 2nd week I had some making it up to do. It was hard at first b/c my body wasn't used to working out at such a fast pace, but once I got into a rhythm I started to feel very good. These classes are no joke. If you stick with it you will leave there feeling stronger, healthier and overall better about yourself and what you've accomplished. I would recommend these classes to anyone. Darrin is a great trainer and he'll keep you going with his energy. - Jami L.
