HIIT Training
Huge In A Hurry (HIAH) has been a great program so far. I have only completed the “Get Ready” phase and am on my first week of “Get Lean”. Its been quite some time since I have felt this strong. While I don’t see any weight loss, I do see some muscle gain. However, the greatest gain is the mental aspect. I feel great and am motivated to keep working hard to improve. The lifting is great and its something I really enjoy. The hardest aspect of exercise for me is the cardio.I cannot motivate myself to do cardio. That is why Huge In A Hurry is a great program for me.
HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) is a great way to do cardio, however it is fairly controversial in the fitness world. Some think that HIIT is just a fad. However, many experts believe that HIIT is the best way to leverage the thermogenic effect of buring calories. Which is the best way to get the six-pack abs! HIIT is the cardio method used for Huge In A Hurry.
HIAH HIIT is split into 15 seconds/45 seconds intervals. You do a activity all out for 15 seconds and then rest for 45 seconds. This is done after the lifting portion of workout. There are hundreds of exercises that you can do for HIIT. Below is a list of the ones that I have done that I enjoy:
- Jump Rope
- Sprint in place
- Bodyweight Prisoner Squats
- Squat Thrusts
- Jumping Jacks
You can also do intervals on a treadmill, a stationary bike. You can use kettlebells etc. There are hundreds of exercises that can be done to achieve the results. The key, as always, is to do it!!
