BENEFITS OF HiiT

Here are many great reasons why you should consider adding HiiT to your exercise routine. Here are five of them:

It helps build endurance – HiiT quickly adapts the cellular structure of your muscles, enabling you to increase your endurance, regardless of what exercise activity you choose.

Burns calories in a shorter time – HiiT is super effective for those who don’t have a lot of time to work out. Studies show that 15 minutes of high intensity interval training can burn more calories than jogging on a treadmill for an hour.

Boosts metabolism – It is said that HiiT helps you consume more oxygen than a non-interval workout routine. The increased amount of oxygen consumed helps to increase your metabolic rate.

Burns fat hours after you leave the gym – When participating in such high intensity routines, your body’s repair cycle goes into hyper drive. This means in the 24 hours after a HiiT workout your body is still burning calories and fat, whereas after steady-pace workouts, this may not happen as much.

Good for heart health – They say that extreme training helps build extreme results. It’s hard for most people to push themselves to an anaerobic zone where you lose your breath and feel your heart pounding faster and faster. But with interval training it’s easier to push yourself to that level because of the rest interval that comes right after you reach that point. This helps keep a healthy heart and helps blood flow effectively throughout your whole body.

Try incorporating HiiT into your routine to get all of the above benefits and more. Speak to one of our PTs about booking a session with them today.
