A Few Reasons Why You Should Incorporate High Intensity Interval Training

High Intensity Interval Training has truly become one of my favorite and exhausting type of workout! Is it challenging? Absolutely! Is it worth it?
Absolutely! Should everyone being doing them? Absolutely! Unless there's some physical or medical limitations that prevents an individual from doing them. One of the main reasons I'd fell in love with them is because I'm reaping the benefits!😁








High intensity workouts is ideal for those individuals who claim not to have time to go workout. Why? Because you can get an entire workout within 15 minutes or less depending on how hard you push yourself.

Now, I must take time to inform you of this important advice.


*BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY TYPE OF HIGH INTENSITY INTERVAL TRAINING, CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR OR PHYSICIAN TO BE SURE YOUR BODY CAN HANDLE THAT TYPE OF WORKOUT.*

With high intensity, you will want to reach 85% of your maximum heart rate or as close to 85% as humanely possible. So, before reaching 85%, you will have to determine what your maximum heart rate is. The formula to use is 220 minus [ your age ]. For example, let's use a 40 year old adult. We will take 220 - 40 = 180. The adult maximum heart rate will be 180 beats per minute. Then, you must do the math to find out what 85% of 180 is. You can use a calculator to find out the result. So, in this scenario, 85% of 180 is 153. So the target range for the adult is 153 bpm (beats per minute). One awesome way to track your beats per minute is to invest into an activity tracker like fit-bit or any type of technology that has that capability.
