Tired of slugging away at the gym hours on end or don’t have the time to exercise??? Well there may be a fast and effective way of losing those unwanted kilos and improving your health. There is a type of exercise that only takes 20 minutes to do, three times per week. What is it do you say??? It’s called High Intensity Interval Training or ‘HIIT’. This type of exercise involves performing high intensity training in short bursts in between periods of low intensity exercise. And the great thing about this exercise is that it can be done in the gym on a exercise bike or at home with a simple step! All you need to do is pedal or step as fast as you can for 15 sec and then pedal or step very slowly for 15 seconds! Studies have shown that HIIT is 6 times more effective then steady state exercise in reducing fat, improving insulin function and aerobic fitness. In one study, the average weight loss of a group of female subjects performing HIIT for 12 weeks was 4kg with 2 participants losing more then 9kg! So what are you waiting for?!?!
