5 incredible benefits of High Intensity Training.
With so many different types of exercise out there, it can be challenging to figure out which one is the very best. I always emphasise with my clients that health is not just about weight but it's about how you feel and how well your internal organs are working.
When I ask my clients about their exercise habits they will often say 'yeah I run around all day and I'm really busy', while this is great, it's often not enough. So what type of exercise does get our organs firing, our blood pumping and our mind charged? Well in my research the answer is Hight Intensity Training or otherwise known as HIT.
High-intensity training (HIT) is a type of exercise that involves short, intense bursts of activity followed by brief periods of recovery.
Here are 5 incredible benefits of High-Intensity Training.
1. Time-efficient: High-intensity training is a time-efficient way to exercise, and only needs to take as little as 15 minutes. This makes it easier to fit into a busy schedule and can be ideal for those who are short on time but still want to get a optimal workout in.
2. Calorie and glucose burning:
High-intensity training can be an effective way to burn calories and use excess glucose in our blood stream, muscles, liver and fat cells. Studies have shown that HIT can also increase calorie burning during and after exercise, known as the after-burn effect, which can help boost metabolism and facilitate weight loss.
3. Wakes up your vital organs:
HIT has been shown to be effective in improving our heart, brain, lung and pancreas health. It is said that when we do this type of exercise in the morning a network of capillaries is opened that equals the distance around planet earth!! Where are these capillaries? They are found in our eyes, feet, hands brain, everywhere! Helping our whole body feel regenerated and revitalised!
4. Gives athletes the 'edge': A Japanese trainer called Dr. Tabata was the second person to bring the idea of HIT to the public. He was the trainer for a figure skating team and discovered that if they did HIT they had an 'edge' over their competitors. It is said that people who do HIT have a noticeable 'edge'.
5. Versatility:
HIT can be done with a variety of equipment or no equipment at all, making it versatile and acheivable for people of all fitness levels. It's just a matter of running for your life and going as fast as you can for a short period time with rests in between, whether that be running up hills, swimming, biking, push ups, squats or anything that get your heart pumping and you sweating!
So.... there are many types of exercises you can do, but High-Intensity Training (HIT) appears to be one of the most efficient and effective ways to boost our health and fitness. HIT offers a range of benefits, including time-efficiency, calorie and glucose burning, revitalising vital organs, giving athletes an 'edge', and versatility in terms of equipment and fitness levels.
By incorporating HIT into our exercise routine, we can optimise our workouts and achieve a healthier, more active lifestyle and if you live in Townsville you are lucky to be able to make the most of Castle Hill to get your body pumping!
