What is HIIT?
HIIT stands for high-intensity interval training. This type of training is a great way to burn fat and get in shape during the summer. HIIT workouts are short but intense. They last only 15 to 20 minutes, so you can do them multiple times throughout the day.
Here’s how to do a HIIT workout:
1) Warm up by doing some light activity or stretching.
2) Choose a cardio exercise that you’re comfortable doing. A good option is running or swimming.
3) Alternate between aerobic exercises and high-intensity intervals for 30 seconds each. You should be working at 95 percent of your maximum intensity during the high-intensity intervals, going all out for 10 seconds followed by 90 seconds of rest. Here are some examples of aerobic exercises: jogging, biking, rowing, and stair climbing.
At the end of each interval, take a quick break before starting the next one.
4) After completing the full circuit, cool down by walking or resting for a few minutes.
What are the benefits of HIIT?
HIIT is a great way to get your heart rate up and burn calories. HIIT also helps improve your endurance and strength. HIIT can help you lose weight, tone your body, and increase your fitness level.
How do I start my HIIT journey?
HIIT, or high-intensity interval training, is a great way to get your heart rate up and burn calories. HIIT workouts are short but intense bursts of activity that work your entire body. The good news is that you don’t have to go to the gym to do HIIT. You can do it right at home with Obé!
First, choose a workout routine that fits your fitness level and goals. For example, if you want to lose weight, try one of our weight-loss HIIT routines or one of our cardio HIIT routines.
Second, set a timer for 5 minutes and start your Obé workout. Follow the prompts on the screen and focus on breathing heavily and evenly during each exercise.
Third, after 5 minutes have elapsed, repeat the entire routine again for another 5 minutes. And keep going until you reach 10 rounds!
Fourth, take a break after completing 10 rounds of the workout and enjoy some delicious post-workout snacks like fruits or vegetables!
What are some exercises to do as part of my HIIT routine?
If you’re new to high-intensity interval training, or just getting started on your HIIT journey, here are some exercises to try.
Start with a basic cardio routine and add in some intervals. If you’re feeling ambitious, start adding in resistance training as well. Remember: it’s important to mix up your routine so that you don’t get bored. And if something hurts, stop! Don’t overdo it and risk injuring yourself.
Here are four different HIIT workouts that will help you get started:
1) Tabata: This is a popular 30-second exercise followed by 10 seconds of rest. Do eight rounds of this exercise, resting for two minutes between rounds.
4) The Butterfly: Start in the starting position with arms extended straight ahead and shoulders back, then slowly lower arms towards the ground until they touch sides, stopping when hands reach hips position; repeat.
