H.I.T. training usually refers to High-Intensity Training or High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT)—both involve short bursts of intense exercise followed by rest or low-intensity periods. Here's a quick breakdown of each:
---
1. High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT):
Structure: Alternates between all-out effort (e.g., sprinting, jumping, cycling) and short recovery periods.
Duration: Typically 15–30 minutes.
Benefits:
Burns more fat in less time
Improves cardiovascular health and endurance
Boosts metabolism post-workout (afterburn effect)
Helps regulate blood sugar
---
2. High-Intensity Training (HIT - strength focus):
Developed by Arthur Jones, emphasizes brief, infrequent, and intense strength training sessions.
Structure: One set per exercise to complete muscle fatigue, done slowly and with control.
Benefits:
Efficient muscle building
Reduced risk of overtraining
Time-saving (often under 30 minutes/session)
---
Common to Both:
Efficiency: Ideal for busy schedules
Intensity: Requires mental focus and physical effort
Results: Improves strength, endurance, fat loss, and cardiovascular health
H.I.T./HIIT workout plan:
- Your primary goal (e.g., fat loss, muscle gain, endurance, overall fitness)?
- Your current fitness level (beginner, intermediate, advanced)?
- How much time you can commit per session (e.g., 15, 30, 45 minutes)?
- What equipment you have access to (e.g., bodyweight only, dumbbells, gym)?
