in this second edition of “ask the trainers”, we’re looking to find answers to whether or not high intensity interval training (commonly referred to as HIIT) will help improve running times. this question comes from dee: “will HIIT workouts help me improve my running times?”i’ll give a few bullet points to summarize the answer (because it helps me learn and retain knowledge), but the full answer can be found at the applied fitness solutions blog. check it out for the full answer to this great question!recent research suggests that interval training does improve aerobic fitness to a greater extent than traditional steady state cardio (it also results in greater calorie burning and body fat reduction, which is a good reason why it is so popular in the fitness world!) to understand how HIIT workouts impact running, you need to first understand what HIIT is.

Apr 12th, 2013 Author: Andy Category: training H.I.I.T what is it? High Intensity Interval Training (H.I.I.T) comes in a wide variety of forms with every trainer implementing their own ideas on the technique, but the key idea behind this training session remains the same. It involves short sharp high intensity workout periods followed by lower intensity breaks long enough that your body recovers and can perform at high intensities again. Although it is only now becoming a mainstream way of training the H.I.I.T principles have been around for years and implemented by top athletes all over the world.So why now is only just becoming popular? Trainers for years have followed the same idea of long sessions working at a low intensity keeping the heart rate within the ‘Fat Burning Zone’ and although with the correct diet and discipline this can be a very effective method, the long sessions have become unpopular because clients just don’t have enough time.

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.
