BEST WEIGHT LOSS WORKOUT...
WHY I LOVE HIIT TRAINING
"I KNOW THAT MY HALF HOUR FAT BLAST
IS THE BEST WORKOUT TO LOSE WEIGHT"
BENEFITS THAT MAKE HIIT TRAINING WORK
You may have heard about HIIT workouts before but what exactly does that mean and why do so many people talk about it? High-intensity interval training (HIIT) describes a workout that alternates between intense bursts of activity and fixed periods of short-term rest. Since the concept of HIIT is really just to do maximum-intensity exercises for a short period of time and then recover for a short period, you will be able to do more. It's much easier to break down 4 minutes of high intensity exercise into 4 minutes seperated by a short break, than to go flat out for 4 minutes non stop. If you want to work out and lose weight efficiently, try a HIIT workout.
20 MINUTE HIIT WORKOUT
I discovered this from a book called Body For Life which had 100's of examples of people losing so much weight and the HIIT workout was only 20 minutes long. I was working out for way longer than this and not achieving these results.
It measured the intensity of your activity on a scale of 1 to 10. Level 1 is when you are lying down doing nothing and level 10 is when you are going flat out. It started out genetly and then minute by minute increased intensity. Once reaching a level 9 intensity, it would then drop back down to a level 6 recovery minute. Then repeat.
In this chart you can see how the minutes in the 20 minute TABATA are broken down.
IT'S EFFICIENT MEANING IT WORKS
HIIT workouts are the ideal type of exercise for a busy schedule. At BlazeFit, we know you have a busy lifestyle with kids, work and other activities, making working out for long periods of time impossible. Our Thirty Minute Fat Blast HIIT workout is an amazing weight loss workout. Research has shown that you can achieve more progress in 15 minutes of interval training than you can jogging on a treadmill for an hour. Whether you want to get it done first thing in the morning, squeeze in a workout during your lunch break or as soon as you get home, the choice is yours.
DO IT FROM HOME
One of the biggest benefits of HIIT workouts is that you don’t need any equipment for an effective workout. You can just use exercises like high knees, star jumps or even running on the spot. If you have any home cardio equipment, then you can use this too. You can modify it to fit any time and space constraints and still get all the benefits! With BlazeFit, you don't even have to step out of your house, so it is incredibly convenient and saves you expensive gym memberships. Lose weight with BlazeFit in less time and spend less money too.
BEST FOR WEIGHT LOSS
One of the many reasons why HIIT workouts are so popular is because they’re extremely effective for weight loss. When trying to lose weight, you want to burn fat and build lean muscle to continue to burn more fat. HIIT forces your body to use energy from fat as opposed to carbs. This makes losing fat more efficiently. On a diet, it’s hard to lose fat while maintaining the muscle. But studies have shown that with HIIT, you can preserve those hard-earned muscles while burning the maximum amount of fat.
IMPROVE HEART HEALTH
Perhaps one of the most important benefits of HIIT workouts is improving your cardiovascular health. In general, people aren’t used to pushing themselves into the anaerobic zone, because it's too hard, and uncomfortable. HIIT workouts get you there in short bursts while mixing in rest time, to strengthen your heart and oxygen consumption. HIIT workouts have been shown to reduce blood pressure, heart rate, and blood sugar levels.
TABATA 4 MINUTE HIIT
Tabata is a style of high-intensity interval training (HIIT), lasting 4 minutes that involves 20 seconds of maximum effort, followed by 10 seconds of rest, for 8 rounds. It was founded by Japanese scientist Izumi Tabata. This is a superb 4 minute routine which I have used as a warm up for many years. Whether its a 4 minute Tabata abs workout or a 4 minute weights session, it always does the job.
For the first time, BlazeFit puts both the 20 minute HIIT and the TABATA 4 minute HIIT together, maximising FAT BURN and WEIGHT LOSS.

The half hour fat blast varies every minute so the half-hour flies by.
