Want to burn more fat in less time?
TruHit Fitness center’s HIIT program is all you need!
In our fast-paced lives, it's hard to find time to work on improving ourselves. But a packed schedule doesn't need to be a reason to skip the gym. TruHit Fitness Center created its High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) workout for busy people like you. It guarantees you maximum results in minimal time.
What is HIIT?
High-Intensity Interval Training is an amped-up combination of weight exercises and intense cardio targeting both increased heart rate and strength. Within just a few minutes into the HIIT workout routine, every muscle of your body will be feeling the thrilling burn.
How HIIT Workouts Work: 3 Models
The most significant component of the HIIT workout is alternating between intense exercise and short recovery intervals to attain the desired fitness goal while giving your body just enough time for appropriate recovery. In simpler words, your HIIT workout will be a perfect balance between two parts. During the high-impact phase, the goal here is to motivate you to exercise as hard as possible. In the recovery intervals, you're allowed to catch a breath before the next high-intensity training portion begins.
Model 1: Tabata Training - This fitness routine comprises eight sessions in four minutes. Each session consists of 20 seconds of intense exercise followed by 10 seconds of recovery. Though four minutes might not seem like a lot, every session is meant to be performed at the maximum level of physical exertion to create a visible difference.
Model 2: 30:30 - This workout involves routines lasting six to 10 minutes. It's divided into two parts of equal length: 30 seconds of high-intensity training followed by 30 seconds of low-intensity training. Low-intensity training is supposed to rest your muscles without a proper break.
Model 3: 30-20-10 - Workout intervals are organized in the following sequence:
- 30 seconds of low-intensity exercise
- 20 seconds of the moderate-intensity workout
- 10 seconds of high-intensity training
Why Should You Opt for HIIT?
The best thing about HIIT workouts is that you can perform them with the exercises you choose. So whether you are into traditional cardio, heavy ropes, non-traditional training tools, medicine balls, or no equipment at all—the HIIT workout routine works with everything.
- Reduced Risk of Developing Chronic Diseases: HIIT strengthens the cardiac muscle of your heart. The high-performing intervals reduce your risk of developing heart diseases and allow efficient blood flow around the body.
- Increased Muscle Definition: During anaerobic glycolysis type II, muscle fibers are conditioned to adapt to the varying high-intensity workouts by storing more oxygen. The type II muscles are also responsible for increasing muscle hypertrophy. Therefore, molecules of glycogen hold on to the water, while the muscles store glycogen for more oxygen, which ultimately increases the overall size of the muscles.
- Reduce Chances of Developing Dementia or Alzheimer’s: Compared to other exercises, HIIT has a greater impact on strengthening brain cells by elevating levels of Brain-derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF).
