No, that’s not a typo: “HIIT” is an acronym that stands for High Intensity Interval Training, and it seems to be one of the hottest trends in fitness. Indeed, HIIT made the top of the list in the American College of Sports Medicine’s annual survey of fitness trends.You may have heard of HIIT as the “newest,” “best,” “most amazingest,” “magic-est” way to lose weight or achieve some other goal. Is it? Well, yes and no.HIIT is basically just a new trendy acronym for a form of training people have been doing for a long, long time. Most of the time, however, the only people doing it were competitive athletes trying to run, bike, and/or swim faster in races

Calorie counting is a weight loss tool. And it is a very valuable tool. There are many people who have successfully lost weight by doing nothing other than learning how to count calories and adjusting their diets accordingly.  However, in my mind Calorie counting should be used as a tool, not a crutch. You should be learning from calorie counting. In fact, after 2-3 months of Calorie counting you really shouldn’t need to count Calories anymore.Why?Because if you’ve been counting accurately for a couple of months then you should now know what the ‘right’ amount of food feels like.  After 3 months, you should know what ‘right’ feels like while eating a wide variety of foods, on the days you workout vs.

Story HighlightsHigh-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) involves high-intensity sprints followed by low-intensity exercise or rest. Studies have shown that HIIT burns more fat than traditional cardiovascular exercise where the same pace is maintained for an extended period of time. HIIT training has also been shown to burn more belly fat and subcutaneous fat than traditional workouts. If you have limited time to workout, doing HIIT can be a good way to ensure you still get the same benefits from exercises done in a short period of time.

For all of these out there making an attempt to shed fat, i would like to speak about HIIT, Large Intensity Interval Coaching. HIIT is based mostly on alternating among high intensity periods like sprinting (a single illustration) and reduced intensity periods like walking or jogging.Most folks is use to steady state cardio, jogging, operating, or strolling, often at a standard pace. HIIT brings in a change of pace, and it can be carried out in several diverse methods, you can do it on a treadmill, stationary bike, operating, sprinting or rope jumping. There are numerous approaches you can do this, the most popular approach is the “Tabata Protocol”.I will use the stationary bike for this technique, but you can do it in anyway you like, running, rope jumping, swimming, no matter what you prefer, and you can use a lot more than 1 workout in various days.
