Looking for a way to add variety to your exercise plan while taking your fitness to the next level? High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is a cardiorespiratory training technique that alternates brief speed and recovery intervals to increase the overall intensity of your workout. HIIT is used by athletes and everyday exercise enthusiasts to reach performance goals and enhance fitness and well-being.
TUESDAY, June 18, 2019 (HealthDay News) — High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is an exercise technique done by alternating short bursts of all-out effort in an aerobic activity with periods done at a very slow pace.
High intensity training incorporates plyometric movements that can be hard on the body. Avoid these common mistakes that put stress on your knees and joints.

Do you have three or four minutes, one to three times a day, to devote to your health? By using that time to engage in one of the best high-intensity exercises out there — the Nitric Oxide Dump — you can improve your mitochondrial health, slowing down age-related muscle decline. The fact is, if you live in the U.S. and work full time, you sit an average of 13 hours a day, then sleep for an average of eight.1 This means you’re sedentary 21 hours of the day!

Es probable que haya escuchado que el entrenamiento en intervalos de alta intensidad (HIIT) puede reducir significativamente su tiempo necesario en el gimnasio, sin embargo, ¿Será verdad? ¿Podrá conseguir ponerse en forma en tan poco tiempo como seis minutos a la semana? El programa de la ABC, Catalyst, investiga esta afirmación.
It’s oft-repeated but true: exercise keeps you healthy.
It boosts your immune system, keeps the mind sharp, helps you sleep, maintains your muscle tone, and extends your healthy lifespan.
Going to the gym can be impractical when you’re a mom of littles, but thankfully many great workouts can be done from home. That’s why I’m such a fan of the Tabata workout, and it just might be the perfect choice for moms on the run … pun intended!
Generally speaking, I’m the type of person who likes a hardcore workout that leaves me dripping in sweat. We’re talking things like CrossFit, high intensity interval training (HIIT), or boot camp-style group fitness classes. But after a trainer recently told me I should try slowing things down a bit and work on improving balance, mobility, and flexibility, I decided it was time to consider branching out. And that’s when I came across aqua cycling. (It’s just one of the super fun pool workouts that aren’t swimming.)
