LOOKING AT STARTING YOUR WORKOUT JOURNEY? SET YOUR 2020 GOALS TODAY

It’s 2020 and you may be thinking it’s time to start setting your health and fitness intentions for the year! Just like you, our team at AXE.FIT once started out exactly where you may be now - wondering if HIIT is effective and should we give it a go. Starting a new fitness routine can be daunting and you may not know where to start. 

So let’s see if HIIT is right for you…

What is HIIT?

HIIT is high intensity interval training. This means that you workout in short bursts, for example; 45 seconds high intensity and 15 second lower intensity/rest - and then repeat! 

So why is HIIT so effective?

HIIT is all about fat burning! By having shorts bursts of high intensity workouts your workout depletes your oxygen stores which then switches your body to anaerobic mode. Your metabolism starts working over-time and your body switches from using carbs to fat for energy.
