⏱ BENEFITS OF INTERVAL TRAINING #3 ⏱
Increased Cardiovascular Endurance
Next time you’re slogging through your cardio, pick it up—just for 60 seconds. Just one minute of a high-intensity burst during a steady-state workout can boost your endurance and your overall health, according to measures like improved blood pressure and higher counts of mitochondria, (helping to fuel your body and brain). Better yet, that improved endurance will carry over to your more moderate-intensity runs, rides, and other workouts!
⏱ BENEFITS OF INTERVAL TRAINING #2 ⏱
Better Exercise Adherence!
According to studies, people enjoy HIIT far more than vigorous-intensity exercise or continuous moderate-intensity exercise. The benefits of exercise only happen if you do it regularly, and you’ll be more likely to stick to a workout you love than something that is monotonous, unrewarding, or just plain boring!
⏱ BENEFITS OF INTERVAL TRAINING #1⏱:
Burn more calories!
Did you know that HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) will burn more calories during and after a workout than a continuous aerobic format? The bursts of increased intensity increase your caloric expenditure. You’ll even continue burning calories for up to two hours after exercise due to the effect of EPOC (exercise post-oxygen consumption), a measurably increased rate of oxygen intake following strenuous activity!
