High-intensity interval training (HIIT) describes any workout that alternates between intense bursts of activity and fixed periods of less-intense activity or even complete rest. For example, a good starter workout is running as fast as you can for 1 minute and then walking for 2 minutes. Repeat that 3-minute interval five times for a 15-minute, fat-blasting workout.

If you still believe in these ridiculous myths I suggest you read this article here – http://www.leangains.com/2010/10/top-ten-fasting-myths-debunked.htmlInstead in this article I am going to share with you some incredible benefits I have received by fasting 16-18 hours every single day (9-10pm until 2-3pm)

High-Intensity Interval Training Looking for a way to add variety to your exercise plan while taking your fitness to the next level? High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is a cardiorespiratory training technique that alternates brief speed and recovery intervals to increase the overall intensity of your workout. HIIT is used by athletes and everyday exercise enthusiasts to reach performance goals and enhance fitness and well-being. How does it work?Most endurance workouts, such as walking, running, or stair-climbing—are performed at a moderate intensity, or an exertion level of 5-6 on a scale of 0-10. High-intensity intervals are done at an exertion level of 7 or higher, and are typically sustained for 30 seconds to 3 minutes, although they can be as short as 8-10 seconds or as long as 5 minutes; the higher the intensity, the shorter the speed interval

Let’s Go running and get your strength training in doing a quick  band workout   In order to do a Band Workout while running you must be able to take a band with you   However for me to do that, it cannot impact my run and it must be invisible to some degree. What I mean is, I do not want to have to: Carry the band in my hand Have the band flopping around while I run Change my running mechanics, speed or form due to the band Have the band not allow me to do sprint work  Running – Band workouts continue to be a weekly event where I will do a band workout while going on a run.  There is something about doing a 1 to 2 minute run followed immediately by a quick 1 to 2 minute band workout that really cranks up my metabolic system. For instance here is a typical run- band workout with a run. ——- Every set is in 60 second or 2 minute intervals RunHorizontal Chest PressRunBent over RowRunShoulder PressRunHammer CurlRunOverhead Tricep Extension ——— Perform 6 rounds 400 yard run – 30 Front Squats – 30 Curl/Clean/Press    ———  30s on-30s off x 4 total rounds 4  Runs2 sets of Split Squats on each side4 Runs2 sets of Reverse Lunges on each side4 Runs   The key to a Run – Band Workout is how you are going to carry the band along with you.Let me help you with that by showing you a very easy band set up     Getting BETTER with BANDS Dave
