Have you reached a plateau and don’t know what to try next? Would you like to get the benefits of an hour-long cardio workout in a fraction of the time?If any of these raised an eyebrow, high intensity interval training, or HIIT, may be for you.HIIT, involves alternating bursts of high-intensity effort, reaching close to 90 percent maximum heart rate, with lower intensity recovery periods to achieve improved fitness in a shorter amount of time than through steady-state training. It works by combining anaerobic and aerobic fitness, getting the most of both types of training.Benefits of HIIT include a metabolism boost, increased calorie consumption both during the exercise session and post-workout, faster building of lean muscle and maintenance of lean muscle throughout weight loss.Using a professionally designed plan isn’t necessary, but it can be a great start if you are new to HIIT. Sticking to a plan helps track progress, motivates you while training and pushes you to improve

by Chelsea Terris (I’m pretty sure this is the first guest blog post on EatBlogEat… Bold was added by me on the parts I really liked / found interesting)Losing weight and getting fit is all about the body, right?  Wrong. Undertaking any weight loss program, be it diet, exercise, or weight loss surgery, requires a complete shift in mental perception to establish true change.Ever lost weight but still functioned like an overweight person, feeling critical of your image in the mirror or engaging in habitual lack of confidence? The great Greek essayist Plutarch stated that “What we achieve inwardly will change outer reality.” If this is true, then making changes to our bodies begins and ends in the mind, where seeds of success must be planted to bear hardbody fruit.Sound like a pile of motivational munbo jumbo?

One of the most common excuses people give for not exercising is that they don’t have time. And if you’re one of those folks who swears up and down that you don’t have an hour (or even 30 minutes) to spare for a workout, then HIIT is the perfect solution.What is HIIT?HIIT stands for High Intensity Interval Training, and it involves alternating between periods of intense exercise and brief recovery. The idea behind HIIT training is that you don’t allow your body to adjust to exercising at just one level of intensity, which enables you to essentially turn into a fat-burning machine. So what does an actual HIIT workout look like?

In my freezer right now there is a big ball of frozen cookie dough. It’s about the size of a baseball and I really, really want to eat it. In fact, I want to eat it so badly, I’m starting to justify why I SHOULD eat it.  And of course, my mind turns right to thinking about muscle.‘I probably do need to eat a bit more today to gain muscle, gotta fuel the process you know….’Of course, there is some debate about this statement, and logically I know I really don’t need to eat the cookie dough, especially since it’s 10:05 in the morning right now.

Hooray for this HIIT!By Lisa ByrneI’m quite persnickety on what I like to share as a sound fitness plan in the form of a video demonstration.What I like in particular about this video is simple: they offer 3 levels of working out to this high intensity workout.That means that both Boomers and chicky-chicks can do this and everyone in between.The leader does the most intense workout.The gal on the right modifies the leader’s workout.Follow the gal on the left if you have issues to be aware of; want less intensity; or are new to this whole thing.They pretty much get right into the workout, so consider doing a 3 minute warm up yourself.Go get ‘em. « Pick Up Your Posture 1-2-3No comments yetLeave a Reply

This post represents a single article for a complete series dedicated to developing muscular strength and size through resistance training. Each article relies on the information detailed before it to convey a thorough understanding.View an outline with links to theentire series here.It is easily possible to lift an enormous “total tonnage” while doing nothing worthwhile and just as easy to perform a very productive workout that involves very little “total tonnage”. Secondly, according to that theory, ten reps with 100 pounds are exactly equal to two reps with 500 pounds which is obvious nonsense; the “work performed” would be equal but the power required and the results produced would certainly NOT be equal.- Arthur JonesGrowthTraining for muscular growth focuses on developing a greater cross-sectional area, and this depends on the proper balance between the load versus repetitions.
