HIIT this workout!

I have found the HIIT method to be most effective when trying to shed fat & get lean muscle mass.. Ask you what the heck HIIT it? It's an acronym for High Intensity Interval Training. Most interval workouts start with 30 second workouts. Rest periods come down from 90 seconds to 30 seconds. Warming up & cooling down are essential with this type of workout. You can use this method on virutally any type of exercise, from runnig to biking, mixed with jump rope, burpees squats, jumping jacks, etc. Email me kramsay9er@gmail.com with questions or examples of workouts.



Below are 3 levels of intensity in terms of rest times & sets...



Beginners should do about 6-7 sets of 30 seconds sprint./90 seconds rest (jog/walk)



Intermediate workouts consist of 30 second sprints & 1 minute rest (walk/jog)






People who feel they are already fit & would like to push themselves more can go the advanced route. 30 seconds sprint / 30 seconds rest for 12 rounds (give or take)




HAPPY FITNESS!!!
