Bob Wells Fitness: HIIT Your Way to a Leaner Body

March 22, 2013

High Intensity Interval Training, or (HIIT) for short, has become all the rage for people looking to spice up their dull cardio routines and get leaner than they have ever been before.HIIT is a training protocol that involves periods of maximum effort followed by active rest. For example, you could sprint as fast as you can for 60 seconds, followed by walking for 60 seconds, then repeat. Such a workout could be completed in 30 minutes or less.Advocates of HIIT, such as the good people at Simply Shredded, argue that HIIT, as opposed to steady state cardio, is a better way to burn calories and reduce body fat. They highlight some of the research that has led them to this conclusion: “One of the earliest studies, done by researchers at Laval University (Ste-Foy, Quebec, Canada), kept it basic, using two groups in a months-long experiment.

Warrior Fit Testimonials

First, I want to say thank you for convincing me to do Tabata! I was struggling to lose weight and Finally I found something that helped! I really appreciate your coaching! - Craig T.

Ever since I was convinced to do Tabata I have seen huge results, I lost 6 pounds and gained energy in the first 3 weeks. I have been working out for 3 months before I decided to do Tabata and I struggled to lose weight. At first I thought "How am I losing weight by bringing my heart rate up then cooling down then bringing it up again?" I don’t know how it works but it does! Thank you!! - Theresa F.

The first day of Tabata, I wondered WHAT AM I DOING - I AM 56 !! Five weeks later I knew that it was what I needed. I learned that I could push myself well beyond my comfort zone and feel good later. I have a marked improvement in physical as well as emotional endurance. - Lyn C.

When I was first told about Tabata I was very excited from the word go, however that excitement stemmed from the fact that I had no clue what it meant. I missed the first week of class b/c I was traveling for work so when I came in during the 2nd week I had some making it up to do. It was hard at first b/c my body wasn't used to working out at such a fast pace, but once I got into a rhythm I started to feel very good. These classes are no joke. If you stick with it you will leave there feeling stronger, healthier and overall better about yourself and what you've accomplished. I would recommend these classes to anyone. Darrin is a great trainer and he'll keep you going with his energy. - Jami L.
