Answer is Fitness - HIIT

At Answer is Fitness in Foxboro, MA, we believe that interval training is one of the most effective ways to shed fat while building strength and endurance. Here are our top five interval workouts designed to maximize your fat loss results. Grab your water bottle, and let’s get started!

1. High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT)

HIIT is a popular method that alternates between short bursts of intense activity and periods of rest or low-intensity exercise.

Example Workout:

30 seconds of sprinting (or fast cycling)
30 seconds of walking (or slow cycling)
Repeat for 15-20 minutes.

2. Tabata Training

This form of HIIT follows a strict 20 seconds of work followed by 10 seconds of rest, repeated for 4 minutes (8 rounds).

Example Workout:

Exercises: Jump squats, burpees, push-ups, mountain climbers.
Duration: 20 seconds on, 10 seconds off, for 4 minutes each exercise.

3. Fartlek Training

Fartlek, which means "speed play" in Swedish, combines steady-state exercise with interval bursts.

Example Workout:

Start with a 5-minute jog.
Alternate between 1 minute of sprinting and 2 minutes of jogging for 20 minutes.
Finish with a 5-minute cool-down walk.

4. Circuit Training

This combines strength and cardio in a fun, fast-paced workout. Move from one exercise to the next with minimal rest.

Example Workout:

Jumping Jacks: 1 minute
Push-Ups: 1 minute
Squats: 1 minute
Plank: 1 minute
Repeat the circuit 3-4 times with a 1-minute rest between rounds.

5. Bodyweight Interval Training

No equipment? No problem! Bodyweight exercises are fantastic for burning fat and can be done anywhere.

Example Workout:

30 seconds of each exercise with 30 seconds of rest in between:
- Burpees
- Lunges
- High Knees
- Plank Jacks
Repeat for 3 rounds.

Tips for Success

Warm Up: Always start with a dynamic warm-up to prevent injuries.
Cool Down: Finish your workout with stretching to promote recovery.
