HIGH INTENSITY INTERVAL TRAINING.

WHAT IS HIGH INTENSITY INTERVAL TRAINING?

High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) consists of (you guessed it) high intensity bursts of 100% effort followed by short recovery periods. By utilising this method of working out, you can keep your heart rate in the perfect ‘zone’ for burning more fat in less time. By working out in this way, your body is effectively experiencing a shortage of oxygen therefore creating an ‘after burn’ effect during your recovery periods, referred to as excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC).

A highly effective workout, our High Intensity Interval Training sessions cater for both beginners looking to start their fitness journey as well as athletes wanting to take their progress to a higher level. If you are aiming to feel good, strengthen your body and burn calories, even on a busy personal schedule, then HIIT is an ideal workout for you.

It’s important to note, if you are just beginning to try HIIT, that you remember it is an exhaustive workout. Knowing your limits and to what level to exert yourself will make for a far more efficient workout than having no structure to your sessions.At studio JRL our personal trianers our personal trainers have years of experience of using HIIT to benefit different body types and level of fitness and assisting people in burning calories effectively.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF HIIT?

Thanks to EPOC, you’ll be burning fat even after you have completed your workout for up to 48 hours.

Fast and Convenient

You can complete your HIIT workout in about 30 minutes or less, allowing for flexibility during your busy personal schedule

If the thought of using weights or tackling workout equipment doesn’t quite get you motivated, don’t worry! HIIT can be done using your own body weight and focuses on increasing your heart rate.

Flexibility

High Intensity Interval Training can be modified and scaled for different fitness levels and medical conditions. It can include a variety of workouts such as bodyweight exercises, cycling, swimming, walking, running and much more.
