The HIIT Zone We Call Home

As the original home workout movement, we were HIITing it long before most of the other HIIT fitness sites broke their first sweat. Our initial and continued passion for HIIT boils down to one, indisputable fact: HIIT isn't a fad  —  it's a way of life.

HIIT (high intensity interval training) speaks out against the over complication of health and fitness. It speaks to a belief that when given something simple, one should revel in its simplicity.

HIIT is simple.

HIIT is an insanely effective form of full-body exercise that uses powerful, short and intense bursts of energy followed by shorter periods of rest to torch fat and build lean muscle mass. In as little as 12 minutes a day, you can burn three times as much fat as running at a steady pace for an hour. This is because the amped-up periods of anaerobic activity followed by minimal periods of rest force your fatty acids to convert into fuel cells, causing your body to expend more energy not only while you are exercising, but 24 hours after. When you load up for resistance bearing HIIT, you up the ante even more, expending more energy and breaking down those muscle fibres to grow back stronger and more powerful.

What’s more, since you don’t need to haul your butt to the gym to reap the rewards of this type of training, you’re less likely to make excuses, and more likely to stick with it for the long-haul. The result is a trimmer, healthier and stronger you.

Like we said, it’s simple. We never said it was easy. HIIT is not a walk in the park: it’s not supposed to be. It is designed to push your body out of your comfort zone into the breathless, heart-pounding, life-affirming and body transforming realm of real results. And since you won’t have to stay in this realm long, you know you can do it, for just a few seconds longer.
