The merits of weighted HIIT training for obtaining and maintaining a lean body described within

So you want to get in shape? You want to lose weight, build muscle, and look your best. Well, you've come to the right place. In this blog post, I'm going to tell you about one of the most effective and fastest way to obtain and maintain a lean body: moderately weighted HITT training with full body exercises.

What is HITT training?

HITT stands for high-intensity interval training. It's a type of workout that involves short bursts of intense exercise followed by short periods of rest. HITT training is incredibly effective for burning calories and fat, and it's also a great way to build muscle.

What are full body exercises?

Full body exercises are exercises that work multiple muscle groups at the same time. These exercises are ideal for HITT training because they allow you to get a full body workout in a short amount of time. Some examples of full body exercises include squats, cleans, turkish get ups,  lunges, push-ups, and pull-ups. It is important to use the full variety of full body exercises to maintain balance in the body. Take care to shift the body parts doing the majority of the work. Of course a full body exercise uses every muscle in the body but it does so varying intensities depending on the movement.

Why is moderately weighted HITT training with full body exercises so effective?

There are a few reasons why moderately weighted HITT training with full body exercises is so effective for obtaining and maintaining a lean body. First, it burns a lot of calories. HITT training is a very efficient way to burn calories, and it can help you to lose weight quickly and effectively. Second, it builds muscle. Muscle tissue burns more calories than fat tissue, so building muscle can help you to lose weight and keep it off. Third, it's time-efficient. HITT training workouts are typically short and intense, so you can get a great workout in without spending hours at the gym.

Here's a few sample HITT workouts that you can try but FIRST remember to:

  • Warm up for 10 minutes by doing some light cardio, such as jogging or jumping jacks.

  • Moderate the weight so that you can complete the entire workout 

  • Do each exercise for 30 seconds 

  • Rest for 30 seconds between exercises

  • Complete 4 rounds like this 

  • Cool down for 10 minutes by doing some stretching/mobility perhaps the basic wholemax mobility routine 

Workout 1:Upper Body Focus 

  • Dumbbell Clean,Squat and Press

  • Dumbbell Cross Snatch (1 round per arm)

  • Push-ups

Workout 2 Lower Body Focus

  • Front Squats 

  • Reverse Lunges 

  • Lateral Lunges

Workout 3 Core Focus 

  • Reverse Planks 

  • Side Planks

  • Planks 

Weight:

Use a weight that is challenging but not too heavy. You should be able to do all of the repetitions with good form.

Intensity:

Push yourself to work as hard as you can during each interval. You should be breathing heavily and sweating by the end of each set. If you can talk during or right after the workout then the intensity was most likely not high enough

Frequency:

Do this workout 3-5 times per week depending on your ability to rest. Over training is definitely a thing but under resting is more of a thing in my opinion 

Nutrition:

In addition to HITT training, it's important to eat a healthy diet. Make sure to eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. You should also limit your intake of processed foods, sugary drinks, and unhealthy fats.

Conclusion:

Moderately weighted HITT training with full body exercises is a great way to obtain and maintain a lean body. It's effective, time-efficient, and fun. So what are you waiting for? Start your HITT training journey today!
