HIIT, high intensity interval training, seems to be the big thing in the health and fitness world right now. Utah college students are some of the main advocates for this type of exercise. My first exposure to this phenomenon was in 2009 with Shaun T’s Insanity workouts. Since then, I have fallen in love, especially since HIIT is packed with so many advantages. Here are just a few reasons why everyone in Utah should start a HIIT program.
HIIT is an ideal workout for anyone with a busy schedule. Shape Magazine reported that a 15 minute HIIT workout is much more efficient than an hour long jog on the treadmill. The American College of Sports Medicine Annual Meeting presented a 2011 study showing that just two weeks of HIIT improves your aerobic capacity as much as 6 to 8 weeks of endurance training. Come on Utah, what are you waiting for?!
During a HIIT workout you will burn more calories, but the effect of the intense workouts puts your body’s repair cycle into overdrive. In the 24 hours after a HIIT workout you will burn more fat and calories than any other type of exercise. Utah college students swear by it to keep the freshman 15 at bay.
One of the main allures to Shaun T’s Insanity workouts is that he will get you in hardcore shape with absolutely no equipment but your body. For a broke college student like me, that is the best deal ever! The focus of a HIIT workout is pushing your heart to its max. The faster your feet the better!
Many Utah college students have experienced the dreaded freshman 15 allowing them to believe their metabolism is shot. But with HIIT it stimulates the production of the growth hormone, HGH, by up to 450 percent! HGH is responsible for increased caloric burn, and also slowing down the aging process.
The concept of HIIT workouts are very simple; maximum effort for a short time followed by a rest period and repeat! It is adaptable to the amount of time and space available to you. For college students it may make for interesting study breaks especially with a study group.
