Fasting. Not sure how that word originated as there is nothing fast about a fast. Or, I would imagine so, as I have never participated in one. Yes, I would think fasting would go by S L O W L Y. Yes, ever so slowly.Imaginative hunger pangs, languid pace, energy dips and all, I am intrigued.

Photo Credit: Foundation CrossFitHIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) for Beginners: First of all, what is High Intensity Interval Training? It is a workout method that alternates maximum effort “work” intervals with low-intensity “rest” intervals.You can structure almost any activity into a HIIT workout, including running, cycling, swimming, rowing, walking, bodyweight movements, and even weightlifting.What are the Benefits of HIIT? HIIT is more effective than steady-state cardio for weight loss. HIIT induces the “afterburn effect” post-workout, meaning that you continue to burn calories from your workout up to a few hours after you are done. HIIT trains your body for explosive power, helping you jump higher, sprint faster, and be overall more agile.

Train less, achieve more: The Benefits of HIIT Training November 12, 2013Blog, Fitness Samantha Whitaker trials Hiitgirl – a 30-minute workout that’s the equivalent of more than two hours’ traditional exerciseHiitgirl, as you may have guessed, is high-intensity interval training (HIIT) for girls. HIIT is really having a moment – and here’s why: alternating bursts of intense, anaerobic exercise with short periods of recovery provides the same benefits as hours of cardio in just a fraction of the time (a study at Canada’s McMaster University confirmed that 2.5 hours of HIIT training provides the same benefits as 10.5 hours of slow cardio). HIIT also raises your resting metabolic rate for up to 24 hours after exercising, and significantly improves your VO2 max (the maximum amount of oxygen that can be taken in during an exercise session) – in other words, your endurance and stamina. What’s more, constantly switching between exercises challenges different muscle groups in turn, so that none suffer too much from wear and tear.Hiitgirl founder Susan Dyson launched her 30-minute sessions in Harrogate, and has just opened her first studio in Crouch End. It’s a beauty: cosy but contemporary with (mostly pink) modern equipment, incense candles burning and words of encouragement on the walls.

Eating six small meals a day instead of three large ones is supposed to be the way to go if you want to “stoke the metabolic fire” and lose weight. But not everyone has that kind of time.Often I get asked, “How can I eat six meals a day when I work so much?” That’s where intermittent fasting comes in.Intermittent fasting helps your body regulate leptin, a hormone directly related to fat loss that helps your thyroid work properly. Also, fasting improves insulin sensitivity, which is responsible for fat loss and muscle gain. (Learn about the benefits of carb back-loading.)After a fast, your body is more sensitive to insulin and uses foods consumed post-fast for burning fat and building muscle

High intensity interval training, or HIIT, is an exercise program that alternates short, intense exercise with recovery periods that are less intense. It tends to be shorter than typical cardiovascular exercise because the benefits of the intensity make up for the shorter time. Most HIIT workouts last less than 30 minutes, with some lasting less than 10 minutes.Those who perform HIIT find that their aerobic and anaerobic capacities are greater, their stamina is increased, and they are able to burn fat more easily than they did with longer periods of exercise due to using more muscles than in typical aerobic exercise. In addition to the benefits in stamina and aerobic capacity, HIIT increases the resting metabolic rate for a full 24 hours after exercise. HIIT is also useful for highly conditioned athletes to continue to improve their athletic performance.A typical workout consists of a standard warm up followed by fewer than 10 cycles of high-intensity exercise and a medium intensity recovery period.
