Welcome to Free Fitness Gym,
Today we have a great workout that will be sure to work you hard, burn body fat and tone muscle groups up. We will be using the usual format of working you for 50 seconds and resting you for 10 seconds. If you need longer to rest then please pause the video and take as long as you need to recover. Our workouts have been designed to suit most fitness levels, but they will put an emphasis on you to work at an intensity that you feel you can maintain over the duration of the workout. By intensity we simply mean that if Helen is working too fast in the workout video and you are struggling to keep up with her, then slow down the exercise, do less repetitions, and go at a pace where your breathing is under control and you are feeling confident that you can keep going.
The benefit s of High Intensity Interval training workouts are that you can fit a full hour workout into half an hour by having minimal rest periods and working hard. Just because the term HIIT or High Intensity Interval Training sounds like a brutal way of training, it is not. It just means work consistently at an intensity whereby you feel suitably worked.
Personally both Nick and Helen would rather do 3 HIIT workouts per week that work them both hard, than do a casual workout at their local gym where the session are not very hard and people rest more often than they workout.
We hope you enjoy this workout and we would love to hear how you are getting on.
So work hard.....go at a pace that suits your fitness level, and try not to go a week without doing at least one workout.
