Email PrintWhile some trends in health and fitness come and go quickly, it appears that high- intensity interval training (HIIT) will be here to stay. According to an American College of Sports Medicine survey of nearly 4,000 fitness professionals, HIIT will be the hottest fitness trend for 2014. HIIT ranks in the top 20 for the first time in the survey’s eight-year history, surpassing other previously popular exercise regimes such as strength training, Zumba and Pilates.High-intensity interval training involves short bursts of intense exercises followed by a short period of recovery. Typically, HIIT workouts can range from 10 minutes to about 30 minutes, and little or no gym equipment is needed. Some studies have shown that HIIT workouts burn more fat than longer, more mundane workouts, and also could be better for your heart

| E-mail| PrintLast week Thursday I posted this blog about Intermittent Fasting. In it, I mentioned that there are lot’s of weight loss systems out there that work. More often than not, it’s about picking ONE system, following it, and sticking with it long enough to actually see some results.I also gave the link to Precision Nutrition’s founder, Dr John Berardi and his free e-book which gives a lot of information about IF, some different IF approaches, and Dr Berardi’s personal feedback on his successes and struggles with it.On Friday, I posted a follow up blog that gave some reasons why IF probably isn’t ideal for everyone and why.  I also briefly spoke about why I am trying it out myself.So then, which IF methods AM I trying and how is it going?It’s going slowly. Very slowly.

This provides a terrific source of external motivation when I need it.It also keeps me privy to lots of discussions about fitness trends as well as varying viewpoints. And let me tell you, we fitness people can be pretty opinionated when it comes to what we think works and what doesn’t.I know you all have heard me get on my soapbox on at least several occasions.In the fitness and nutrition world there are certain schools of thought that I follow. I mean, really, there are so many systems and methods that DO work, it’s more about finding the method that works best for you.
