Our popular HIIT (Interval Training) class is also available online!
Suitable for all levels. Interval Training alternates bouts of exercise with brief rest periods. This style of training challenges your strength and cardiovascular endurance while building strength and improving mental stamina.
Why is HIIT So Popular?
One of the many reasons why HIIT workouts are so popular is because they’re extremely effective for weight loss. When trying to lose weight, you want to burn fat and build lean muscle to continue to burn more fat. HIIT forces your body to use energy from fat as opposed to carbs. This makes losing fat more efficiently. On a diet, it’s hard to lose fat while maintaining the muscle. But studies have shown that with HIIT, you can preserve those hard-earned muscles while burning the maximum amount of fat.
Not only do you burn more calories during a HIIT workout than with steady cardio, but the effect of all that intense exertion keeps your body working long after you’re done with your exercise for the day. The high-intensity workout means that your body will stay in fat-burning mode for up to 24 hours after the workout, meaning you burn more fat and calories than you would after a steady-pace run.
Boost Your Metabolism
In addition to increased fat burning and muscle preservation, HIIT workouts stimulate the production of your human growth hormone (HGH). It goes up by 450% during the 24 hours after your workout. This, in turn, increases your metabolism in the short-term and after consistent HIIT workouts, increases your overall metabolic rate. An improved rate of metabolism makes it less likely for you to gain weight. A healthy metabolic system can rid toxins from your body more efficiently. It can also, as mentioned above, burn calories even after you finished with your HIIT session. Doing a HIIT workout kick starts your body’s metabolism to a level that the fat burning effects last hours after the session have finished.
