Do you challenge yourself enough to Find Your Strongest You? As we all get older our metabolism begins to slow down, the number of calories you burn on a daily basis drops and it becomes more difficult to cut body fat. But one of the best ways to combat this is to speed up your metabolism with HIIT high intensity interval training workouts . When YOU workout, focus on a higher intensity training with a faster pace or heavier weights, which has been shown to release a higher growth hormone that is responsible for short-term muscle growth, as well as long-term cell repair. When you are doing HIIT training you should feel like you are hitting your peak and would have difficulty doing one more rep or one more step……..you are challenging your body by pushing it to the limits, but only for a short period of time.
If you are just starting out, you will want to bring your heart rate up for possibly 1 minute, then bring you heart rate down for a minute and do this for 10 reps. You can begin to build up to 1 minute HIIT then 30 seconds bringing it down, then ultimately doing this for 20 minutes. Do to the intensity of these workouts, the best and safest health benefit for your body, is to complete this no more than twice a week.
TIP:
Find your strong………choose a workout this week and give it all you’ve got and challenge your body to new limits to break the plateau you body begins to face! Maybe increase your weights! Do more reps than usual! Increase your cardio intensity with speed or distance!
