HIIT With Lisa

HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) is an amazing exercise routine to incorporate in your fitness plan for a number of reasons, but the ones I want to highlight today are:

• It is extremely effective for weight loss

• Burns fat

• Build Lean Muscle (which continuously burns fat)

• HIIT forces your body to use energy stored in your fat opposed to carbs

• HIIT usually takes about 10-30 minutes depending on intervals and rounds set

• Can be done anywhere - gym, at home, on a beach

• Can be done with just your bodyweight, dumbbells, textbooks, or any form of resistance

• Doesn’t need to be done everyday, but aim to complete three times a week with proper rest in between

HIIT clearly hits a lot of benefits. Set an interval timer and determine the number of rounds you want to complete. Usually people base it on if it is their main workout, a burnout/finisher, or cardio workout. Here are some examples:

• 10 or 15 seconds on, 10 or 15 seconds rest for 10 rounds

• 30 or 45 seconds on, 30 or 45 seconds rest for 3-5 rounds
