Workouts | Aug 05, 2013Home Workout Routine: Low-Impact HIIT Go hard (but stay soft on your joints) with this fast, fat-burning circuit 1 of 7Home Workout Routine: Low-Impact HIIT High-intensity interval training (HIIT) describes any workout that alternates between intense bursts of activity and fixed periods of less-intense activity or even complete rest. It is without question one of the most effective and efficient ways to burn fat and boost aerobic capacity, but what most people don’t realize is that it doesn’t have to be high impact. If you’re nursing an injury (or want to avoid ever doing so in the future), you can still reap the fat-burning, metabolism-boosting benefits of HIIT.This quick workout plan was designed to help you push to your max without pounding your joints. You don’t need a single piece of equipment or a lot of space (and you won’t be bothering your neighbors with loud, thumping jumps), so this “quiet cardio” routine is perfect for a hotel room or small apartment.

Tabata training was named after Izumi Tabata, Ph.D., a former researcher at Japan’s National Institute of Fitness and Sports. After I took my first Tabata inspired class I would have thought it was the Japanese word for water boarding or brussel sprouts. Though I wouldn’t exactly describe my first experience as pleasant, I did go back for more. Having not been familiar with Tabata prior to my first class, I wasn’t really sure what I was getting into, but my introduction came hard and fast.

High Intensity Interval Training has proven to be effective in enhancing your weight loss and improving athletic performance. The HITT workout is defined as “a system of organizing cardio respiratory training which calls for repeated bouts of short duration, high-intensity exercise intervals intermingled with periods of lower intensity intervals of active recovery” (McCall 2009).What do the benefits include?When using HIIT you are training your body to be more efficient in using energy from the anaerobic energy system because of the work-to-recovery intervals. Also this form of exercise can train the body to be more effective in removing metabolic waste from the muscles between the work intervals.

Why Tabata FailsBy Kate VidulichHigh intensity interval training (HIIT) has exploded onto the mainstream fitness scene, and is a prominent part of every intelligent person’s fat loss training program. With this increased exposure, it’s no wonder someone got a hold of the scientific research on interval training and spun it the wrong way.Thousands of trainees are using one particular type of interval training – without a clue what they’re really doing.Tabata Professor Izumi Tabata and friends in Japan created this 4-minute ultra intense protocol and tested it on his Olympic speed skating guinea pigs in 1996.Today’s version of Tabata in commercial gyms is far from the real deal. Tabata training requires “exhaustive intermittent training consisted of seven to eight sets of 20-s exercise at an intensity of about 170% of VO2max with a 10-s rest between each bout.” That quote is from the study itself (1).It’s time to dispel the myths right now…Can the real Tabata protocol please stand up? (Rap on).Why Tabata FailsMistake #1: You’re NOT doing TabataHands up if you’ve read the study? If you’re not a science fan, it’s like alien language
