HIIT: Exercise Less, Benefit More

We all agree on the great benefits of exercise; this is why everyone tries to exert their maximum effort to gain the most possible benefits. Yet, –sometimes- this can be extremely difficult.

If you work on full-time basis, have family responsibilities or have an endless to-do list, exercising for as long as you think is effective can feel like an impossible task.

Thanks to HIIT (high intensity interval training) you can get a great, effective workout in very little time.

How HIIT works?

HIIT basically combines two types of exercises that use different pathways to provide energy.

Those are aerobic and anaerobic systems.

As an expert personal trainer in City of London, let me tell you in short that our bodies have 2 different ways to produce energy:

1- Aerobic Exercises (using oxygen)

This takes place when we do easy exercises for a long duration. Usually, this type challenges our cardiovascular system and targets your endurance.

The important trick of aerobic training from your elite personal trainer London-based: "Keep your heart rate high!"

If the exercise is too difficult or too fast, the heart rate is too high or the breathing is irregular, our bodies fail to produce energy from the oxygen we breathe, and it tends to produce energy anaerobically.

2- Anaerobic Exercises (without oxygen)

Your body has ready-to-use energy that is produced in no time for sudden, vigorous activities.

However, this type of energy can be sustained for a very short duration (up to 90 seconds).

Although this type of exercise doesn’t improve your endurance, it can effectively build up your muscles and boost your metabolism.

Two is better than one

Now that you’ve learnt the benefits of each type of exercise, you probably still can’t tell which is better.

Both types are perfect when they’re used correctly according to your goal and physical needs.

But, for a dramatic result, we combine both types in form of HIIT.

This gives you the benefits of a prolonged training in no time.

Conclusion

HIIT saves you time and gives you benefits of both aerobic and anaerobic trainings.

Here’s what HIIT does to your body:

• Burns fat during and after training.
• Builds muscle mass.
• Improves blood circulation.
• Reduces risk and severity of chronic diseases.
• Improves cardiovascular endurance.
• Prevents aging.

A rehab specialist can help you:

• Deal with your injury in different stages.
• Facilitate the healing process.
• Prevent possible injury-related complications.
• Make sure you’re safely returning to being active.
• Reassure and keep you positive
• Push you forward and monitor your progress.

Conquer your fears

"Before shoulder dislocation rehab, I was afraid that I will no longer be able to brush my hair" Says one of Jazz Alessi’s clients.

Fear of the unknown is the worst. In contrast, if you logically find out what exactly you’re afraid of, you can simply consult your physician, therapist or rehab specialist.

Believe it or not, they make your fears fade away by clarifying the situation, making it more realistic and telling you what happens next based on their knowledge and experience.

Apparently, HIIT not only is a time-saver, but also life-saver!
