A client sent me the link below to a New York Times article about a great "new" seven-minute workout using body weight only. As I read this story, and the article from the American College of Sports Medicine's Health and Fitness Journal on which it was based, I felt a little deja vu - this is exactly what we teach in our Cardio Sculpt class here at the studio!!
HIIT training is becoming more and more popular because it works! Just ask anyone who regularly takes our Cardio Sculpt class!
That said, to achieve real and lasting benefits, you need to do two things.
1. YOU still have to do the work! It's HIGH INTENSITY interval training - that's around 80% of your maximum effort for each interval - which is really hard! Ask yourself if you will really give that much effort in your living room? A class can help motivate you to get the most out of your workout.
2. You NEED to have great form to prevent injury, and to maximize muscle sculpting, not bulking. Our Pilates based HIIT class can help you with both.
So check out the science behind it, and come check out a class - the first one is only $10!
