Healthy HIIT Mondays: Core Burn

Service Description

What does HIIT stand for? HIIT stands for high intensity interval training. This type of fitness training has long been known for producing fantastic results such as improved muscle tone, strength, cardiovascular fitness and metabolic function (the latter contributing to fat burning and weight loss). It helps improve sports performance, and/or contribute to a weight loss and a cardiovascular fitness programme. Why is it called HEALTHY HIIT? Healthy HIIT combines the benefits and safety of Pilates with the results of interval training. This helps you avoid injuries that can typically be associated with this type of training, and work at a level that is appropriate for you. What does a Healthy HIIT session look like? These sessions are a mixture of high intensity training intervals and Pilates recovery intervals. The Pilates intervals are functional and compliment your high intensity movements, training your brain to handle your movements correctly. You also take part in a Pilates warm up to prepare your muscles, and a cardio warm up to prepare your heart, then following the intervals you cool down in an equally balanced manner. It is important to stress these sessions are in no way similar to an advanced Pilates class and should not be seen as such. Who can do it? Like Pilates, Healthy HIIT can be modified to suit most age groups and experience levels. It is most appropriate for those who are free from injury and lead a relatively active lifestyle, and who do not have a heart condition (due to its cardiovascular nature). Why do it? 25 minutes of interval training promote more health benefits than long workouts of an hour or more. Interval training elevates your post-exercise metabolism which remains at an increased level for up to 24 hours after your session. You will burn fat faster for a whole day after your workout. It doesn’t burn muscle mass...it burns fat…promoting muscle tone. It’s great for your heart, boosting muscle function. Studies have also shown that in as little as a few weeks cyclists were able to ride nearly twice as long before becoming breathless etc. Results come quickly! They can show in as little as a week depending on the person.
