Meet Your Goals Faster With Interval Training
Hello everyone, today I read a great article on High Intensity Interval Training aka (HIIT). In the article it compared a traditional 20 minute cardio workout with a 20 minute HIIT cardio workout. Typically when people exercise they only think of how many calories they burned during the workout. I'm here to tell you that what really matters is what's going on long after the workout is finished. The results from the article were astounding. For example, a 20 minute HIIT workout will elevate the resting metabolic rate for up to an amazing 38 hours versus a traditional 20 minute cardio routine that only increases the resting metabolic rate for up to 3 hours following the workout. I knew HIIT was more effective in burning calories, but I didn't know there was that much of a discrepancy. I've already started HIIT with a few of you and it seems to be going well. This is to encourage all of you to continue to push. My goal is to eventually get all of you to do HIIT in order to help you reach your fitness goals sooner. This is a process, so some individuals are ready for this kind of training faster than others, but we will work up to it. See you soon.
