HIIT training with Robin

About the Class

HIIT With Robin  High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) is a popular and effective workout style that alternates between short bursts of intense exercise and brief recovery periods. It’s known for delivering excellent results in a relatively short amount of time and is especially favored by people looking to burn fat, improve cardiovascular health, or build muscle endurance. Here’s a detailed breakdown of what makes HIIT training so effective: Key Characteristics of HIIT: Intervals of Intensity: HIIT involves short, intense bursts of exercise—usually lasting anywhere from 20 to 45 seconds. These are followed by a short rest or low-intensity period, typically lasting 10 to 30 seconds. Variety of Exercises: HIIT can include various types of exercises such as sprints, jumping jacks, burpees, squats, push-ups, mountain climbers, and many others. The focus is on full-body movements that challenge multiple muscle groups. Short Duration: HIIT workouts typically last between 15 to 30 minutes, making them time-efficient. Despite their shorter duration, they can be more effective for burning fat and improving fitness than longer, moderate-intensity workouts. Increased Heart Rate: Because of the intense nature of the exercise intervals, HIIT elevates your heart rate significantly. This leads to higher calorie burn during and after the workout (known as the “afterburn” effect or Excess Post-Exercise Oxygen Consumption, EPOC). Fat Burning: HIIT is particularly effective for fat loss due to its ability to boost metabolism and burn calories even after the workout is done (thanks to EPOC). It also helps preserve lean muscle mass, which is important for long-term fat loss.
