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

This is part three in our five part series on intermittent fasting.As challenging as it is to implement the Warrior Diet, implementing the 16/8 protocol is equally easy. You just skip breakfast! There are numerous diets that follow the 16/8 protocol – the LeanGains method, the Renegade Diet, etc. We aren’t going to focus on one diet in particular but instead focus on the protocol in general.The theory behind the 16/8 protocol is virtually the same theory behind the Warrior Diet – your body performs better when it isn’t in a constant state of digestion. Though your eating window is longer than on Warrior, you are non-eating is window is still 16 hours long, which  promotes better gut health than shorter (8-12 hour) non-eating windows.Because there are so many different dietary programs that follow the 16/8 protocol, they each have different reasons for why you should follow it.

Venturing into the weight room can be overwhelming at times. People grunting in the corner while heaving heavy dumbbells, weights clanking together on a barbell; and to top it all off, there’s a sea of machines with multiple moving parts and levers. Toss in choosing the right exercises and number of sets and reps, and strength training can seem overly complex (calculator anyone?).But there is a method to the madness. When done effectively, lifting weights offers amazing benefits, not only for building bigger muscles and achieving that desired physique, but also boosting your resting metabolism (translation: burn more calories outside the gym!) . Regular strength training can even improve mood and confidence levels .Ready to find that perfect training plan
