And not only will HIIT help you burn more calories and build more strength in less time DURING your workout, BUT it will also help you continue to get results AFTER your workout is over.
A. The more muscle you build, the more calories you burn at rest.
And B. Upping the intensity of your workout, even when working out for SHORTER, creates a better AFTER BURN. It's why high intensity for 10 minutes can create the same results as spending hours in the gym!
The After Burn, EPOC or excess post-exercise oxygen consumption, is basically the calories your body burns to return your body to its previous resting state,
How does it work?
Basically…The harder you workout, the more your body has to work to recover or return to homeostasis after. AKA the higher the intensity of your workout, the more energy you have to expend during the recovery process to return to your resting state.
This means we continue to burn calories even AFTER the workout is over. Hence the name AFTER BURN.
And INTENSITY is the secret to the After Burn, which is why HIIT is so key.
Through HIIT, you force your body to use not only anaerobic but aerobic pathways to create energy, increasing your oxygen debt.
And there are a number of other ways, besides HIIT, that I help you increase your intensity with my Burner System, including active rest, and integration (aka working more muscles, especially large muscles, at once!)
So are you ready to see how much of a difference just 10 minutes can really make!?
