I am far from an athlete but have been physically active most of my life. But the past few years have been a real challenge with both injury and age related changes.
I am not much into New Year's resolutions but I need something to get me back into fitness and stop this loss of strength and endurance and, yes, weight gain. I have fallen so far off the fitness wagon that my weak attempts at exercise are just depressing and I am finding motivation difficult. I am in that "I will start next week" black hole.
High-intensity interval training: Maximum results in a minimum of time
This week I saw Dr Jordan Metzl on the Today show discussing HIIT training and his new book. I have met Dr Metzl and attended medical conferences where he was a speaker. I was impressed by both his passion for fitness and his personal success. I knew of interval training but not specifically HIIT training. I bought his book. I am just to chapter two but I think this may just be the inspiration and workout I need to get me back into a fitness routine.
So why the post? Well, self motivation for one. To share the possibility as well. And to see if any fellow SBers have experience with HIIT and if so their insights or tips.
