overview
Powering up a workout program to improve
results and reduce stored body fat mass can be as
simple as changing the type of workout utilized.
High intensity interval training is the activity of
choice for many coaches and trainers. The quick
results and the short training periods make it an
easy choice for the dieter and training candidates.
faster and stronger
High intensity interval training (HIIT) works on
the process of creating bursts of energy levels
that push the body to the limit, followed by lower
intensity and/or resting periods.
The power of HIIT comes from the body’s need to
recover from being pushed to its limits. EPOC or
excess post exercise oxygen consumption is the
essential process at the core of HIIT. The body
burns 9 times more body fat in trying to create an
internal balance. The oxygen consumed forces a
higher metabolic burn rate and a more successful
weight loss and muscle building program.
