HIIT WORKOUT EXERCISES AT TRAINING DAY GYM

HIIT stands for High-Intensity Interval Training, which is a type of workout that goes from a period of maximal effort to periods of low intensity recovery periods.

HIIT workouts usually involve short bursts of intense exercise alternated with brief recovery periods. Compared to LISS workouts (low intensity steady state) such as a long distance run, HIIT workouts are designed to be challenging and efficient, typically lasting anywhere from 10 to 45 minutes and can be done using your own body weight or using weights.

At Training Day we offer a variety of HIIT workout classes at both our Burwood and Clayton locations.

HIIT For Weight Loss 

Here are some ways a HIIT cardio workout can help with weight loss:

• Burns calories: A HIIT session can burn more calories than traditional cardio exercises because they involve short periods of maximum effort that increase your heart rate and metabolism. This means you stay in active recovery and continue burning calories even after the workout has ended.

• Increases muscle mass: HIIT exercises can help you build muscle, which in turn can boost your metabolism and help you burn more calories throughout the day.

• Improves insulin sensitivity: HIIT workouts can improve your body's ability to use insulin, which can help regulate blood sugar levels and reduce the risk of diabetes.

• Promotes fat loss: HIIT workouts can burn fat, making it an effective way to promote weight loss.

However, it's important to note that weight loss is not just about exercise - diet and lifestyle habits also play a major role. So, while HIIT can be an effective tool for weight loss, it should be combined with a healthy diet and other healthy habits for best results.

HIIT Exercises List 

There are many different exercises that can be used in a HIIT workout, and the exercises you choose will depend on your fitness level and personal preferences. HIIT workouts can use both bodyweight exercises and weighted training. 

Here are some examples of HIIT exercises that you can incorporate into your routine:

• Burpees

• Jumping jacks

• Mountain climbers

• High knees

• Push ups

• Bicycle crunches

• Jump lunges

• Sprint intervals

• Battle ropes

These exercises can be performed for a set amount of time, such as 30 seconds, followed by a short rest period, such as 10 seconds, before moving on to the next exercise.

The duration and intensity of each interval can be adjusted to match your fitness level and goals. Remember to warm up before beginning your HIIT workout and cool down and stretch afterwards to prevent injury.

HIIT Beginner Workout Tips  

It is also important to keep good form when performing each HIIT exercise to prevent injury. 

For example;

• Battle ropes; keep in a squat position and feet hip width apart

• Push ups; keep legs straight and arms shoulder width apart 

• To perform mountain climbers; stay in a high plank position and when the left knee bends, keep the right leg straight and visa versa

• Burpees; keep feet shoulder width apart and move from a standing position to a press up position

When starting HIIT training workouts, it is best to consult with a certified personal trainer to ensure that you are properly completing each exercise to avoid injuries.

HIIT Workout Plan

The frequency of a cardio HIIT workout in a plan can vary depending on individual goals, fitness levels, and overall health status. However, most experts recommend doing HIIT workouts 2-3 times per week to achieve maximum benefits without risking overtraining or injury.

It's important to note that HIIT workouts are designed to be intense and challenging, so it's essential to give your body enough time to recover between sessions. Also make time to do lower intensity exercise as a part of your plan to help your body recover, such as yoga or long distance running.

If you're new to HIIT or have any underlying health conditions, it's advisable to start slowly and gradually increase the frequency and intensity of your workouts in your plan.
