HIIT workouts on the rise in 2014 | health enews

January 7, 2014

Email PrintWhile some trends in health and fitness come and go quickly, it appears that high- intensity interval training (HIIT) will be here to stay. According to an American College of Sports Medicine survey of nearly 4,000 fitness professionals, HIIT will be the hottest fitness trend for 2014. HIIT ranks in the top 20 for the first time in the survey’s eight-year history, surpassing other previously popular exercise regimes such as strength training, Zumba and Pilates.High-intensity interval training involves short bursts of intense exercises followed by a short period of recovery. Typically, HIIT workouts can range from 10 minutes to about 30 minutes, and little or no gym equipment is needed. Some studies have shown that HIIT workouts burn more fat than longer, more mundane workouts, and also could be better for your heart

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.
