High intensity interval training, or HIIT, is an exercise program that alternates short, intense exercise with recovery periods that are less intense. It tends to be shorter than typical cardiovascular exercise because the benefits of the intensity make up for the shorter time. Most HIIT workouts last less than 30 minutes, with some lasting less than 10 minutes.Those who perform HIIT find that their aerobic and anaerobic capacities are greater, their stamina is increased, and they are able to burn fat more easily than they did with longer periods of exercise due to using more muscles than in typical aerobic exercise. In addition to the benefits in stamina and aerobic capacity, HIIT increases the resting metabolic rate for a full 24 hours after exercise. HIIT is also useful for highly conditioned athletes to continue to improve their athletic performance.A typical workout consists of a standard warm up followed by fewer than 10 cycles of high-intensity exercise and a medium intensity recovery period.

High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) is becoming an increasingly popular way to perform cardiovascular exercise, and for good reason. Recent research suggests interval training improves aerobic fitness to a greater extent than traditional steady-state cardio (SSC), and it also results in greater calorie burning and body fat reduction. HIIT is also a great way to improve running speed for endurance athletes looking to get faster.Read More

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

The Tabata Method, or perhaps more widely known through celebrities and the media as ‘The 4 minute fat burning miracle workout’, is based on High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT), rather than the more commonly used endurance training often associated with going to the gym.Where does the Tabata Method come from?Tabata is named after Professor Izumi Tabata who carried out a training study on his Olympic team in 1996. He decided to split his Olympic speed skater team into two and train them differently to see which reaped the greater training benefit.One group trained at what’s called a ‘Steady state’ – 70% VO2max (70% of the maximum capacity to transport oxygen round the body whilst exercising), the other group trained by using 20 seconds of ultra-intense exercise (at an intensity of about 170% of VO2max) followed by 10 seconds of rest, repeated continuously for 4 minutes (8 cycles).The results?The ‘steady state’ group achieved a higher VO2max on completion, but the Tabata group who had started lower, gained more overall. In addition only the Tabata group had gained anaerobic capacity benefits – meaning being able to live without air for a period of time.OK, so I know most of us aren’t Olympians and therefore you probably just want to know what this actually means in layman’s terms for you.

I’m so happy to be a part of the Under Armour What’s Beautiful campaign and to work with FitFluential to spread the word about this great movement.My What’s Beautiful goal is to show women that STRONG IS SEXY! You can lift heavy weights and look sexy and not bulk up. I also want to show that you can get there without spending hours in the gym. When I’m in the gym I do a heavy, high intensity workout for 30 minutes.

Hey everybody, we have another guest post for you all today from TK Cook over at Fitz101. It is all about HIIT or High Intensity Interval Training (an exercise concept much like our own Cardio Conditioning). I’m sure that you’re going to love his post!Judging solely by the name of the concept, it would be pretty easy to guess that High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) is an exercise program that will push you to your limits. For people who have no idea whatsoever about this particular type of training, it’s the only thing they know for sure about HIIT
