High Intensity Interval Training, or HIIT as it's known in the fitness arena, is an excellent way to supercharge your cardio workout, blast into fat storage, and create some serious leg tone.HIIT is an intense cardio blast at multiple training zones which forces your body to expend extra energy to maintain. READ-You burn TWICE the amount of calories than just a plain jane cardio workout by itself. And, you get the added benefit of calorie expenditure to recover. You can burn up to 9 times more calories than an hour on a treadmill. It's your normal run/treadmill/arc trainer/bike/whatever, but cranked up to keep your muscles always guessing and responding.
Try adding a 15-45 second sprint at a degree or two higher level on whatever machine is your favorite. Rest for a minute or two, whatever it takes to get your breathing controlled, and repeat for 20-30 minutes.
Now only you can speak for what is truly 'pushing it' and what is just 'harder'. If it was easy, everybody would look like the Bowflex models. But hey, that's why we're here, and that's what I hope to use this blog for. To be the one pushing you even further, to where I believe we all belong-better than we were.
Be Bold!
