Interval training is broadly defined as repetitions of high-speed/intensity work followed by periods of rest or low activity.
Now, lets clarify wikipedia's definition and explain why HIIT training is potentially the most advantageous exercise option you've never heard of.
Think of interval training as short bursts of relatively intense work followed by longer periods of active recovery. Active recovery means the body continues to move and or work at a lower level of intensity. Habitsforming incorporates several versions of circuit and interval training to provide the client the greatest opportunity to fulfill their potential.
Is our world moving quicker or are we trying to accomplish more and more in the same 24 hour time period? Possibly and yes. Time seems to be one of the greatest factors involved in our decisions to prioritize what we choose to accomplish each day. Unfortunately, we often place ourselves last on the list and areas such as pursuing our well being fall to the way side. HIIT training can literally take as few as 15 minutes to complete which begins to diminish the excuse of time as a factor for not engaging in exercise. Before work, at lunch or at the completion of our day are all appropriate times to incorporate HIIT training as part of our daily priorities.
More is not better for conditioning and fat loss. Individuals that place their attention on the volume of exercise per session or per week are at real risk of incurring soft tissue and joint overuse injuries. I am not an opponent of running, swimming or cycling (spinning). I am concerned with the volume of these activities when they are used as the primary source of exercise. These repetitive motion exercises can and will cause an imbalance in muscle structure surrounding the skeletal system which in turn leads to injury. Alternative to this style of exercise is the Habitsforming method which deploys body weight and resistance training in the functionality of HIIT training to create a balanced frame of muscle tissue surrounding the skeletal system helping to prevent overuse injuries while maintaining all the benefits of the HIIT methodology.
In training the body, certain adaptations in metabolic stimulus that induce a positive effect are created with the implication of high intensity training. The apex of generating this metabolic disturbance is the resulted increase in calories burned in at least the first 24 hours post exercise. What does this mean to you? You will burn more calories in the hours after your workout because the body has to work harder to recover from the workout. More fat calories utilized for recovery transcends into a leaner body.
Here at Habitsforming, much time and research has been given to the comparison of one-on-one private training versus training clients in a group setting and/or partner training. As the research proves, those individuals that train with partner(s) have a much greater success rate in terms of sticking with a program and realizing their goals. Social support, in my opinion, is the second most important and influential factor just behind proper nutrition effecting a client's success rate. Habitsforming's HIIT Group Sessions provide that atmosphere while you are educated on how to generate social support outside the group setting at home, on the job and in any social environment.
Variety. Not only is the body effected negatively by repetitive stimulus, but the mind's habitual self follows shortly there after. Repeating the same routine eventually creates unrest and boredom in the exerciser's psyche. Habitsforming incorporates literally hundreds of exercises in group and private sessions to ensure constant physical and mental stimulus.
Save your joints. Save time. Realize potential. Habitsforming gets results.
