Let us read further…

In the midst of our hectic work lives, we often do not have time for ourselves. It is not really necessary to spent hours in the gym to get the desired body that you need. We all have priorities in lives. Fitness must also be one among the top most priority. Is it too difficult to take half an hour from our 24 hour schedule?

What? Half an hour? Yes! You heard me right! Just half an hour!! Wow…

So what is the dirty little secret that I am going to tell you?

Ta daa…

It is called High Intensity Interval training!

What exactly is high intensity interval training?

HIIT is a workout routine that mixes up both of high-intensity exercise and lower-intensity exercise. The form of exercises is mainly cardio workouts. For example if you do one form of exercise at its highest speed for 60 seconds, then you take rest for the next 30 seconds., i.e. in 2:1 ratio.

Yippee… so you are getting rest intervals in between exercises and on top you are working out for less time which equals an amazing body!!
Mind-blowing!!

Expert opinion# Beginners should only do it only once a week and make sure not to injure yourself in the doing. If you are at an intermediate level, you can do it 3-4 times a week. Beware, this is going to be really challenging!

Top Health benefits of High Intensity (HIIT) workouts:

1. High percentage of fat loss in the process- You can burn more amount of calories within a short period of time, thus promoting fat loss.

4. Lose weight and build muscle at the same time- It is a direct win-win solution where you hit two birds with a single stone.
5. An increase in metabolic rate- Ha-ha, finally found a method to kick start your metabolism and lose weight.
6. Won’t you agree with me if I say that it’s more efficient?! In addition, you will have all day long for the repair process caused due to wear and tear of muscle fibers during HIIT.
7. HIIT stimulates production of Human Growth Hormone after 24 hours of your workout- This hormone is said to prevent ageing and production of wrinkles. One among the many secrets for a glowing skin is now being revealed.

Let the Researchers have their say:

These include cardio exercises like High knees, Jumping lunges, Jumping Jacks, Biking, Running, Push-ups, Crunches and so on.

Untied states is known to have the most obsessed people in the world, yet they continue to not do anything about it. In Shrewsbury high school we have Gym 2 days out of a 7 day schedule, and sometimes you can end up not having gym for a whole week. The recommended exercise per week is 30 minutes 3-4 times a week. Most teenagers don’t even exercise on there own outside of school excluding those who participate in sports.

Our health is just as important as your educations. They should change Gym from 2 days out of a 7 day schedule to making it 3 days per week.I feel that providing gym more during the week can help teens reach or be closer to reaching there recommended exercise per a week. Obesity is one of the main issues teenagers have to deal with in the united states. Making gym 3 days a week could help students reach there recommended exercise to stay health. This is going to stop obesity but if you make it as important as learning students will realize that its and issue and exercise on there own to help there health. Schools make students realize how important it is to study and keep your grades up and to continue you to do great in school.

Well by applying gym 3 days a week it can help them get the thought of exercise nailed in there heads so they see the importance of this alone with there education. a lot of students believe that this wont help them exercise more, and it be a pointless act because they hate gym as it is already. But a lot of students don’t even realize how important exercise is to you. They’d think that there exercise level will remain the same, but if the gym teachers run tests to make sure students are exercising out of school they may take it more serious then It is taken.Of course each student will have there own goals as long as there improving in some sort of way. Making gym 3 days a week can be done a simple way, but having schools 1 hour long there usually. On certain days you don’t have gym you can have an independent study.

Everything about school can run the same with educational part, but have gym 3 out of the 5 days you attend school. The gym teacher can provide a test every month to make sure students are improving and treat it as if it was a normal class. In Shrewsbury we have assigned gym teachers only for gym so it wont interrupt in any educational part. lot of students feel they’d fail school but by forcing the importance of this it can help students change they way they live there life and realize its just as important as there education. Knowing from being a high school student I never exercised outside of school and never even worried about exercising much. Knowing most students they did the same if not less than what I know. Your suppose to have 30 minutes of exercise 3 days a week.

By purposing gym 3 days a week to the gym teachers this could help students reach that goal or if not exceeded it.Having test at the end of each month will encourage students to have to do some sort of physical activity in order to pass the class showing the importance of it. Many student would say that they do exercise enough and that there physically fit, and by having gym 3 days a week is a waste of time. If there are so physically fit then it should be an essay A, and they can be role models to those who are not physically fit. This may be easier to some, than others specially those who participate in athletic sports outside of school.This may help some of the students want to be apart of those sports to get there daily exercise in by doing something they enjoy and being with other students. To wrap this all up, your health is just as important as your education.

Gym isn’t going to be the one to fix all obesity, and unfit students but hopefully it can be the next step in helping that cause. This helps students realize that you need to exercise part of your daily life and make it your lifestyle not a one day week or not all kind of thing. Implying the importance of exercise will show the students how important this is and help students exercise.
