HIIT Routines

HIIT Routines

High intensity interval training or HIIT is an increasingly popular style of training. In contrary to steady-state-cardio such as running at the same speed for a given amount of time, HIIT is dynamic, has intervals (hence the name) and is very intense. The benefits of this training style are described and you can find three workout examples. All examples are used by me personally along my workout career and I have always found them a beneficial to my workout regime.

HIIT Routines

High Intensity Interval Training is an effective way to burn a lot of calories in a short amount of time. It is also highly beneficial for those who try to build muscle mass and still want to do cardiovascular training. Before starting this running schedule, make sure you can already run 20 minutes without rest.

You can do these routines with a jumping rope or by running. The jumping rope variety is very hard, so it is definitely not for a beginning rope skipper. Example 1 and 3 are good ways to start when you are a beginning rope skipper, because you can decide how many sets you do.

Example 1: One to Two Interval Example 2: Pyramid Example 3: Two to One IntervalMore suitable for beginners due to lower intensity!
