What is HIIT? HIIT stands for High Intensity Interval Training and consists of short bursts of intense work, followed immediately by a period of active recovery or rest. Here at SPENGA, we love all the benefits of High Intensity Interval Training, making SPENGA a great replacement to your workout routine. Book your first session for free and keep these few things in mind:
1. Get a BIG Bang for your Buck with HIIT:
HIIT burns a lot of calories in a short period of time. With short periods of maximum effort that get our bodies into an anaerobic state, followed by active recovery or rest, HIIT will burn as many calories as traditional exercise in a shorter time frame!
2. Keep up the weight loss AFTER your workout:
Because of the intensity of a HIIT workout, it will elevate your metabolism for hours after you finish your workout! More calories burned leads to more weight lost!
3. You Gain Muscle Through HIIT:
Incorporating high intensity moves like burpees, squat jumps, plyo lunges, etc. encourages our bodies to gain muscle. Incorporating an active recovery and focusing on simple weight training movements pushes our bodies towards building and strengthening muscles.
4. HIIT Can Have Some Pretty Big Health Benefits:
HIIT helps reduce blood pressure and heart rate in people with obesity. In fact, some researchers have found that HIIT may reduce blood pressure more than moderate-intensity, steady-state cardio exercises (like treadmill, rowing, stairclimber, elliptical, etc.).
These are just a few of the benefits of a HIIT Workout. Incorporating HIIT into your exercise routine, along with cardio, strength training and yoga, will help you optimize your routine and get the results you are looking for.
