Can you provide specific HIIT workouts?
Sources:
Here are some specific HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training) workouts suggested by in the :
-
Circuit Type Weightlifting: This involves sprints, heavy weight lifting, and circuit-type weightlifting with resistance. It's effective in stimulating molecules that repack glycogen and manage glucose not to be stored as body fat. This type of exercise also leads to long-lasting increases in basal metabolic rate. 1
-
Aerobic Conditioning: It typically includes running or cycling sessions where you exert yourself for a short period at a high intensity followed by a rest period in a ratio like 30 seconds on, 10 seconds off, or a one-to-one ratio (e.g., running a mile, resting for the time it took, and repeating). This format builds endurance and helps prepare for longer races like marathons. 2
-
Using Equipment like Airdyne or Assault Bike: Cycling with resistance on these machines involves short, all-out sprints of 20-30 seconds followed by brief rest periods of 10 seconds. This is repeated for multiple rounds and is effective in getting the heart rate up and building cardiovascular capacity and leg hypertrophy. 3
-
Using Stairs or Simple Body Movements: Doing quick, intense sprints up a flight of stairs or engaging in other high-exertion activities like burpees or jumping jacks for about 20 seconds improves cardiorespiratory fitness and helps manage blood glucose levels. 4
Each type of workout has specific benefits and can be adjusted based on fitness goals, available equipment, and personal safety considerations.
Always consult a fitness or medical professional before beginning any new workout regimen, especially if you are new to high-intensity interval training or have underlying health issues.
