Time management remains an essential component of a successful workout program. Exercising smarter, instead of longer, undoubtedly offers considerable physical and mental advantages to the snail-pace, cookie-cutter routine many individuals inevitably perform in gyms across the country. Let's explore the benefits of high-density interval training and hopefully jumpstart an idling workout regimen.
High-density interval training refers to performing a circuit of exercises with limited rest between sets and/or exercises. Circuit training signals a greater release of our fat-burning, muscle producing hormones, while also burning a greater number of calories than a workout with a higher rest-to-work ratio.
Additionally, exercising at a increased density generates considerable improvements in our anaerobic system (without oxygen), by "shocking the system" and placing progressive stress on our body to adapt physiologically to the new stress stimuli. Keeping our cells, and respective muscles, on their toes allows us to continuously progress, by avoiding the plateaus of an uninspired and uncreative workout program.
Numerous high-density training workouts exist to fit our busy schedules and elevate our fitness, in the process. Group fitness incorporates many of these concepts and classes are available to cater to nearly any personal preference or individual goals. Individually, inventing and reinventing our own interval weight-training or cardio circuit can serve as an exciting, motivating source of workout empowerment. Lessening our time in the gym and introducing new exercises to our workouts also keeps us mentally fresh and more likely to adhere to our health and fitness pursuits.
Establishing the proper aerobic and anaerobic foundations remains highly recommended, prior to beginning high-density training. Also, proper nutrition and hydration (before, during, and after the workout) emerge as increasingly vital to maximize individual performance during circuit training. Proper form must also be learned and instituted for each and every exercise, given the greater likelihood of fatigue experienced during high-intensity training. Enlist the services of a qualified acquaintance or the services of a certified training for additional feedback and instruction.
Ideally, three to four days of 25 to 35 minutes of interval training should accomplish the desired health benefits of the general population, while allowing optimal time for the body to repair and rebuild. Designing different themed workout days, such as total body, upper body, lower body, cardio, cardio and core, body-weight only exercises, or arms and abs serves as a creative method for keeping your interval training sessions focused, engaging, and efficient. To continuously progress, continue to change the variables within your workout, including sets, reps, weight, volume, rate of contraction, and introduce new movement variations regularly.
