High Intensity Training

High Intensity Training is a term that can be applied to various types of training.

Historically, High intensity training has been associated with weight training. HIT became particularly well know via the late Mike Menzer, a famous bodybuilder who made popular single all out sets of weight training exercises to failure and beyond.

As times have moved on, high intensity training now encapsulates a broad spectrum of training protocols which all share one common theme - the use of hard, short duration intervals of effort interspersed with periods of reduced intensity or complete recovery.

The benefits that can be obtained by performing regular high intensity training include increase fat loss, metabolic rate, cardiovascular fitness, muscular strength, tone and power. The best bit is, you don't have to do hours of it to have significant effect!
