3 Reasons HIIT Should Be Your Next Workout
Regardless of who you are or where you come from, every single person is allocated the same amount of time in a day, and what we do with that time is entirely up to us. We constantly find ourselves saying we do not have time for various commitments, activities, and self-care rituals due to a variety of other priorities. Often, working out is one of the first activities to be cut. It is understandable, gym sessions can be very time-consuming. However, not every workout needs to last over an hour to be effective.
HIIT, high-intensity interval training, workouts are incredibly effective, even clocking in at about half the time of a regular workout. Xperience Fitness has crafted Q, a 45-minute HIIT session designed to get you in and out of the gym in record time, while also pushing you to burn an unbelievable amount of calories.
Take this time self-quarantined time at home to dedicate just 30 minutes to fitness a day. Just because you are in the confines of your own home does not mean you need to lose the gains you have worked so hard for. If you are still unconvinced, read just three science-backed reasons HIIT should be your next workout.
Burn more calories in less time
While HIIT workouts are typically shorter in duration than other workouts, it can produce health benefits similar to twice as much moderate-intensity exercise, according to studies published on PubMed Central. One of these benefits is burning 25 to 30 percent more calories than other forms of exercise while exercising for only 1/3 of the time.
Increases metabolic rate for longer
HIIT helps you burn calories even after you are done exercising. This is because of the excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC) effect. Because of the high intensity, you will burn calories after the workout has ended as your body replaces energy and repairs muscle proteins damaged during the workout. Studies show that HIIT produced a greater post-exercise resting energy expenditure and lower respiratory exchange ratio than both aerobic endurance exercise and high-intensity resistance training. Researchers have also found that HIIT shifts the body’s metabolism toward using fat for energy rather than carbs.
Drop fat faster
Studies show that those who engaged in HIIT three times per week for 20 minutes per session lost 4.4 pounds of body fat in 12 weeks, without any dietary changes. More important than this is the 17 percent reduction in visceral fat, or the disease-promoting fat surrounding your internal organs.
What is Q
To accommodate and revolutionize your active lifestyle, Xperience Fitness has created the perfect, 45-minute workout that engages your whole body. A Q session will get your blood pumping and muscles burning as you push yourself for 45 minutes. One workout will force your body to burn up to 1,500 calories for 36 hours after your workout ends. That means you end up burning about 1 calorie every 2 seconds in the session.
