What exactly is HITT Training?? - Paul Fenelle
HIIT has been shown through studies to burn body fat more efficiently than the common low-intensity boring exercise training. Studies have shown that fat burns up to 50% more efficient doing HIIT training.
Cardio HIIT training can be defined as low to moderate intervals alternated with high intensity intervals. Rather than training at the same intensity throughout, cardiovascular intensity changes from low, medium, and high sporadically throughout the entire bout of exercise.
High Intensity Interval Training can be done in less than 20 minutes, and has been shown to accelerate the fat burning process for up to 24 hours.
Start out with a warm up using any type of cardiovascular exercise including but not limited to a treadmill, elliptical trainer, running outside, or even biking.
Increase the exercise intensity by doing a high intensity interval for a minimum of five times starting at 30 second interval times, and progressing to longer times as your cardiovascular program matures.
Perform each interval starting at 30 seconds in duration striving to reach 90% of your maximum heart rate, then slow down to moderate or low intensity for a few minutes before you, once again, do a high intensity interval. Your heart rate should be around 50%-60% of your maximum heart rate during the low or moderate intensity segment, and progress upwards to 90% during your HIIT interval.
The goal of HITT training is to be as progressive as possible. Perhaps the next workout interval can be extended by 10 seconds, or the rest time between intervals can be decreased. In order to perform HIIT properly, you must be willing to take a progressive approach to high intensity cardiovascular training.
It is also recommended to clear this type of training protocol with your doctor. HIIT's purpose is to work at a much higher heart rate, or exercise intensity compared to the conventional cardiovascular training.
