3.HIIT
High Intensity Interval Training
(HIIT) will be the cool kid in school in 2014. Life is spent on the go
these days, meaning less time can be spent on a treadmill and on a
weight bench. Short workouts at maximum intensity have set the stage for
staying fit with a lot on your daily plate.
“Workouts like Tabata and Les Mills GRIT are hot buttons right now,” Beth Underhill, owner of Bella Forza Fitness, said.
The traditional mindset of a long workout has changed.
“You can get more out of your workout if only going for 35 minutes with max intensity,” Underhill said.
Compressing
time, she feels, can help incorporate exercise onto a full plate.
According to the Les Mills GRIT series website, short explosions of
effort allow you to reach your maximum training zone. Students will use
their own body weight, barbells and weight plates in each 30-minute
class.
The Tabata training website
explains Tabata workouts as HIIT sessions that have more spice than
traditional cardio. A study by Japanese scientist Izumi Tabata showed
athletes who trained with short, high intensity drills improved in their
athletic abilities and anaerobic systems more than athletes who trained
with a traditional model.
“It can really make a difference in
your overall well-being both physically and emotionally if incorporated
into your lifestyle,” Underhill said.
