Is HIIT The Secret To Weight Loss?
HIIT Training
Is it the secret to weight loss?
HIIT training has become a popular method for weight loss over the traditional steady state cardio. HIIT training or "High Intensity Interval Training" is a method where short bursts of high intensity exercise are mixed with lower intensity "rest periods". Often this is done with a mix of resistance training and aerobic training. It can also be done with only resistance or only aerobic training, with the most popular option being purely aerobic. A great example of this is the 4x4 method, which can be used when running, biking, swimming, rowing, etc. In the 4x4 method, you will do 4 minutes of 85-95% maximum heart rate aerobic training and 4 minutes of 60% maximum heart rate aerobic training for 4 rounds. Be sure to warm up and cool down before performing the 4x4 training method.
PAP training
Not seeing performance
increases? Try PAP Training!
What is PAP training? Post Activation Potential training also known as complex training is a method that is used to increase power and performance. To make it as simple as possible, performing a lift such as back squat at 90% of maximal effort for 3 reps and following that directly with 40 yard sprint. This contrast of heavy weight to bodyweight exercise plays a role in increasing performance and should show an increase in the speed of the sprint over time.
