First of all, what is HIIT?
HIIT means High Intensity Interval Training.
It's an exercise strategy where you give everything you have over a short period of time followed with a small break to recover.
Why should you do it?
Well you can have a complete full body workout in 30 minutes or less, so it's great when you are low on time.
It'll increase your aerobic system as well as your anaerobic system.
Another asset is that you'll burn more fat after the workout is done, the so called after burn.
There are different forms of HIIT:
Tabata
Crossfit
Interval (running)
Tabata:
The only thing you really need for this, is a timer.
Don't worry if you don't have one, you can install the tabata app (it's free)
The first thing you need to do is choosing the exercises you want to include in your training session.
For example:
- squats
- pushups
- chin ups
- sprints
One round lasts 4 minutes, this means that you'll have 8 intervals of 20 sec where you're going to give everything you have.
The exercises should be hard enough that you'll have to work really hard to finish it, but make sure you're able to finish it.
This means you'll go all out for 20 sec, then 10 sec rest, all out 20 sec, 10 sec rest€¦
I think you get the point.
You can do as manny rounds as you like. If you have 20minutes then you can do 5 rounds.
Crossfit:
Crossfit is a way of training that combines lifting weights, athletics and gymnastics in one training.
During the training you'll focus on functional movements that'll be performed at a high intensity.
Every training look different because the exercises you'll do will change.
The exercises exist mainly of bodyweight exercises, like pull ups, jumps, running€¦.
But they also use equipment like barbells, kettlebels, ropes€¦
The goal of crossfit is the same for everyone: getting in the best shape of you life as fast as possible.
The training always ends with the WOD (Workout Of the Day)
The only problem with crossfit (in my opinion) is that you'll get good at a lot of different things but not excellent in anything.
Interval:
This is the easiest and most effective training form you can do at home to boost your fat-loss and get you in a great condition.
You have high intensity periods varied with low intensity periods
For example: you'll run 5 minutes to warm up, then you sprint all out for 20-30 seconds followed with a slow jog so you can recuperate. Then just do it again (without the warm up of course)
If you try to do this 2-3 times a week for 20 minutes I promises you you'll see GREAT results.
