Why You Need to Add Some ‘GRIT’ to Your Workout BENEFITS OF THE LES MILLS HIIT WORKOUT
If you want to make one change to your fitness routine next year, high intensity interval training (HIIT) is the one to choose. High intensity interval training has made its name as a fitness game changer, and there are plenty of studies highlighting its remarkably transformative effects. The results come from going as hard as you can for a short period of time, resting, and repeating. It’s a formula that allows you to reach your maximum training zone again and again. One of the most effective workouts our trainers have found, LES MILLS GRIT™, is backed by science. Based on the high intensity interval training principles, the fast-paced moves increase aerobic fitness, unleash fast-twitch muscle fibers, burn fat all day long, and grow lean muscle tissue. These benefits make this workout the most effective for burning fat and building muscle quickly and powerfully. Three Scientifically-Backed Reasons to Do High Intensity Interval Training: 1. Create Excess Post-Exercise Oxygen Consumption Otherwise known as the EPOC effect, your increased cardio effort will help you burn calories even after you’ve finished working out. Have a Laugh!
2. Stimulate Growth Hormone Want to know the secret to changing the shape of your body? Stimulating growth hormone. Burning fat the way HIIT does produces more growth hormone, which, in turn, leads to more weight loss. 3. Develop Fast-Twitch Muscle Fibers Anytime you exercise, you engage your slow-twitch muscle fiber. But if you want to maximize your workout, you need to unleash your fast-twitch muscle fiber, and that’s where LES MILLS GRIT™ comes in. We’ve partnered with Les Mills to offer the GRIT workout because we’ve seen the amazing results. We know time is tight and these 30-minute workouts can help ward off the extra holiday pounds without costing you hours in the gym. Join us during the holiday season.
