OVERVIEW
Why HIIT Train?
HIIT is a series of extremely hard workouts interspersed with periods of recovery. Your work intervals will be close to MAX
effort for about 20 seconds, then rest (2:1 or 3:1 ratio of rest to work). For example; 20 second repeats (sprints) should require
40 seconds to one minute rest. True HIIT forces your body to repeatedly acclimate between two very different states which
builds excellent cardio conditioning. If you can go longer than 20 seconds (and/or don’t need a rest period) you aren’t doing
HIIT!
For me, HIIT was essential because it not only improved my conditioning, it helped maximize my explosiveness and speed. It
also forced me to be prepared (proper warm-up and flexibility) to move at high speeds and was great because I could use so
many different modalities (med ball, heavy bags, etc).
In the case of this HIIT workout, you will be using your own bodyweight with dumbbell options and if you have it, our EQ’s
and new HIIT System!
