Train your way to a leaner, stronger body in half the time or less!
Get ready to break a serious sweat with this scientific guide to HIIT training! Discover everything you need to know to achieve the best results from your HIIT workouts by understanding the muscle action needed to perfect each exercise.
When it comes to burning fat and toning the body, high-intensity interval training, more commonly known as HIIT, has always been at the forefront of training regimes. It’s easy to see why – HIIT-based exercises combine dynamic bursts of cardiovascular activity with resistance-based strength-building movements, and you can be done and dusted with your routine in as little as 20 minutes. HIIT exercises alternate between short periods of intense anaerobic exercises and a less intense recovery period. This book aims to explain why HIIT-based training is effective by looking at the science behind the exercises. It will also teach you, through detailed anatomical illustrations and instructions, how to perform these exercises correctly – whether you are an absolute beginner or a fitness fanatic. The beauty of HIIT is that you can add it to your current training programme, you can do it at home or in the gym, and it doesn’t require a huge time commitment. You’ll find that the information in this book will help you put together an effective HIIT workout that suits you, and will build your knowledge and confidence in order to execute it correctly.
Inside the pages of this fitness book, you'll explore the physiology of more than 90 essential HIIT exercises! It is packed with:
Specially commissioned CGI artworks depicting all the main HIIT resistance exercises - from burpees to plank jacks - and variations that add or reduce the challenge.
CGI artwork features color-coding to highlight how the muscles, ligaments and joints engage, stretch and relax to perform each exercise.
Training programs, tailored to different abilities and goals, provide suggested workouts with a progressive increase in challenges over weeks and months.
Easy-to-follow infographics help explain the hard science behind why HIIT training is so efficient, and what beneficial physical adaptations it can bring.
High-intensity interval training is a fantastic way to lose weight and get strong by performing very short bursts of targeted exercise. Recent scientific research shows that HIIT is the most efficient form of exercise for raising fitness levels and increasing cardio-respiratory health. Science of HIIT reveals the facts to help you optimize the benefits of HITT to your body and mind.
The clear CGI artwork details the mechanics of each exercise, correct body posture, the muscles involved and how they engage to perform movements. You'll also learn the knowledge and tools needed to be able to create your own bespoke workouts. This HIIT guide will completely transform your performance and help you smash your goals!
