High Intensity Interval Training involves brief bursts of extreme exercise performed at maximum effort, increasing maximum heart rate (MHR) to as high as 90%. Recent health studies prove that a HIIT workout can burn nearly ten times the fat as a traditional cardiovascular routine. TurboFire workouts alter the body’s metabolic machinery and create an “after-burn effect” to promote fat burning while the body is at rest, long after an exercise is performed.
Research published in the Journal of Applied Physiology states that females who performed a series of HIIT workouts over a two-week period realized a 30% increase in both fat oxidation and levels of muscle enzymes that enhance fat depletion.
Extreme workouts of short duration produce catecholamine, a chemical that triggers the body to begin burning fat. The higher the exercise intensity, the higher the rate of catecholamine production, the longer duration of fat-burning while at rest.
Although TurboFire HIIT workouts are high-intensity and designed for sustained fat loss, they do not reduce muscle mass nearly as much as steady-state extended cardio workouts of low to moderate intensity.
HIIT can also help break through fitness barriers and plateaus previously not possible. This has attracted the attention of already well-conditioned athletes who have difficulty improving performance even with long training sessions of increased frequency.
Turbo Fire workouts are relatively extreme but the DVDs allow modification to suit people of all ages and fitness levels.
Turbo Fire includes of 12 workouts on 11 DVDs plus a Turn Up the Burn Fitness Guide, Class Schedule, Resistance Band and 24/7 online support.
