HIIT stands for ‘High Intensity Interval Training’. This involves working out in short, intense bursts ranging from 20 seconds to three minutes, at over 80% of your maximum heart rate, followed by short recovery periods. The reason HIIT is so popular as a form of training, is the way it maximises your time spent working out to increase fitness levels, tone muscles and burn calories. It also offers a nice bonus, the ‘EPOC’ effect which can potentially allow you to burn more calories for 24 hours after your workout. So, basically, you can achieve more in less time with a HIIT workout.

To get the most out of your HIIT experience, we recommend using a heart rate monitor to ensure you’re training in the right HR zones at the right time to maximise your results.

Myzone is an innovative wearable heart rate tracking system that can accurately monitor physical activity. It can help to ‘gameify’ your workout experience and encourages you to work harder and become accountable for your own fitness journey. Plus, it enables you to share workouts with friends and be proud of your hard work, which is proven to make you more likely to achieve your fitness goals.

We asked Alastair, our Head of Blaze and Battlebox for a couple of top tips to bear in mind when getting started with HIIT.

"Remember there are two I’s in HIIT! We can be so focused on the intense part of our intervals, it’s easy to overlook a key part of interval training - the recovery period! Tracking your workout with a heart rate monitor can ensure you have hit the appropriate recovery heart rate zones before you push for the next High Intensity Interval.

HIIT can be as frequent as 2-4 times per week. We would recommend: 1-2 days a week for a beginner or someone completely new to HIIT, 2-3 for intermediate fitness level, and 3-4 for advanced."
