HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) is the number-one fitness trend
and is fast becoming the mainstream method for improving cardiovascular
performance and radically changing body composition.
This book aims to consolidate and demystify the science while also
highlighting some of the lesser-well-known benefits of HIIT, including
improved levels of HGH (human growth hormone, which slows down the
ageing process) and the generation of chemicals that have a positive
effect on mood and wellbeing (not endorphins--something far more
powerful).
HIIT is in essence just a formula: (Exertion + Recovery) x Sets =
Results. But it's the versatility of the method that makes it
interesting; you can HIIT indoors, outdoors, in water, in the gym with
or without equipment, on a bike or rower.
