\n\n“Usain Bolt style Intensity”<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\nTo put it simply this is a MORE INTENSE version of your usual cardio workout, shrunk into small manageable blasts of exercise. We are talking Usain Bolt style intensity for not much longer than the length of time it takes him to complete 200 meters, just don’t expect to look quite so relaxed afterwards, your heart is going to be beating to the rhythm of the jungle and you will be covered in sweat.<\/div>\n<\/p>\n
<\/div>\nThese short sessions of intense exercise usually last between 20 seconds and 2 minutes followed by a rest period that can vary between half the length of time the exercise takes up to twice as long as the exercise itself. Usually this time is spent gulping down some water faster than you ever have before.<\/div>\n<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n<\/div>\nAn increase in blood glucose levels always sounds good but the most prominent benefit of a HIIT workout is that you will definitely notice muscle endurance<\/a> increase. This leads to the greater ability to be able to push yourself harder for longer but with the right frame of mind and focus it also means the blood sweat and tears is coming to get you.<\/div>\n<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\nIn certain cultures a burp after a meal is a compliment to the chef. In fitness, sweat is the holy grail handed by the black knight himself to the fitness instructor or pioneer of that particular workout.<\/div>\n<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\nInterval training has been used for a long time in athletic training programs which require short bursts of fast paced movements in the actual sport itself. You don’t see a baseball player running around for a long period of time at a slow pace or a quarterback strolling towards a forward pass.<\/div>\n<\/p>\n
