HIIT: The 20-Minute Dream Body with High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT Made Easy in Black&White)

“HIIT made easy” is right. This book translates the complicated science behind high intensity interval training into everyday language that anyone can use. I am a former Army infantry NCO with training in HIIT exercise programs. I bought this to help my sister understand HIIT training a little better for her own exercise program. It broke down the basic concepts of fitness and reinforced many of the techniques and ideas that I showed her. It goes well beyond a simple instruction book. It teaches key aspects that can help out in understanding exercise science as a whole and gives proper methods for conducting exercise routines. The book is not restricted to one type of FIIT routine, instead showing how Tabatas, Cross Training, Fartleks, and other styles fit into the overall workout regimen. It does not pretend that this is the only method of getting in shape. It presents a neutral voice in showing how what results can be achieved through the HIIT method, even going as far as demonstrating how HIIT can be integrated into a primarily weightlifting regimen. It teaches not only HIIT methods, but how to be fit overall, from diet to dealing with overtraining. I recommend this for anyone looking to develop a proper fitness routine and an understanding of how to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

I never really understood the whole idea of HIIT. This book really explained not only what it is, but the science behind it. What I especially appreciated is how to apply and put into practical use the whole concept of it. The author also included other factors that affect health and fitness – diet, nutrition, and sleep. He included sample exercises and options to use as well. This book goes a long way in eliminating the “can’t get to the gym…” excuse for not doing a work out. I recommend it!

This book was an in depth look at HIIT and its benefits. I have practiced the workout technique myself, but never really understood the science and nutrition behind it. I enjoyed how thorough yet easy to read the book was. John Powers goes into detail about how your body converts energy and the options to best incorporate HIIT into a person's daily life; yet at no time was the science behind everything overwhelming. This book is applicable to anyone ranging from just starting to work out fanatic and is great for understanding how to incorporate and utilize HIIT safely and effectively.

In the past I’ve been one of those people who joins a gym, goes for a while and then gradually stops going. I have been a shift worker for years and so I can usually justify my occasional workouts because I don’t have the time. After reading HIIT I feel inspired to try again. Basically the methods in HIIT point to working out more efficiently and for less time, which suits my lifestyle. At first I was cautious because some reviews have been negative but straight away the introduction advised me that HIIT has been revised since those reviews, and this encouraged me to buy the book. I had heard Australian Athletes speak about the ‘Fartlek method’ and it’s effectiveness before. HIIT delves even deeper into high intensity training with informative diagrams, nutritional information and helpful tips. I hadn’t thought about some of this stuff since I was in high school! HIIT is practical too with ‘how to’ exercise pictures and links to video examples. As I get older I want better endurance, which is why I went looking for a book like this. It’s not a magic pill. Getting a better body takes time but this is a great read and will likely inspire you to start a HIIT program today.

I wanted an exercise manual. This book goes more into dietary plans than exercises.

Very well written, containing all important facts and descriptions

Book is straight forward and does an excellent job covering the foundation of fitness and the benefits of HIIT.

The exercises are amazing. It gets away from the mundane and provides you with great alternatives to keep your routine new and fresh. Highly recommended.

This is ok- it has plenty of information in it, but you can find just as much info for free on the internet.That being said, if you just want a quick reference guide that's easy to read and don't want to go trawling the web for the info, you could do worse than downloading this as a handy reference.

I’ve been searching for a training program that wouldn’t take up too much of my time, but also yielded fast results. I was also looking for something that wasn’t too technical in nature – a workout that was flexible, while keeping me focused on my goal. As someone who is not quite fond of “hitting the weights” every day, I found a clear winner with HIIT.I like the idea behind HIIT (Hight Intensity Interval Training) and how it’s flexible enough to benefit a newbie like me or a regular fitness fanatic who’s looking to change up his or her routine. Most of all, I absolutely love the fact that this intense workout regimen continues to burn calories even as you sleep! The different types of exercises and the short, intense training intervals keep me interested and engaged on my goal of losing weight and building up my core strength (something I’ve been wanting to do for a while now).Not only did this guide provide a wealth of exercise and nutritional advice, it also went into detail about the other important details about health and weight loss. Details that we tend to neglect when looking at the big picture. While some people might think this is a waste of time, I appreciate that the author took the time to properly educate his readers about the “fine details” of exercise, good health and fitness.I highly recommend this guide and this fun, intense training regimen. I’ve read a few negative reviews that discussed a lack of training exercises and clear direction. I believe the 2nd edition that I’ve purchased takes care of these details – I found the instruction to be very clear and found plenty of exercise examples within this HIIT guide. I also found the nutritional advice to be spot on – a lot of research was done in this area, and it shows.Overall, this guide has kept me excited, motivated and on track with my fitness goals. Highly recommended for those looking for fast results with little time to dedicate to exercise and weight loss.

I was hoping to get some fresh new ideas, sadly i did not get any. I Can’t blame the author. Still not what i was expecting.

Ben scritto. Da numerosi input per un allenatore tradizionale. È sicuramente da provare ed applicare. A b c d e

High Intensity Interval Training (HITT) is technique for people of all ages and sizes that only requires around one hours working-out each week. Whether you are looking to add muscle, increase stamina or lose some pounds the goals can be achieved through HITT training. This ebook goes into great detail about the science behind why HITT training works and also nutrition. I found many tips to be revelations such as the importance of eating breakfast and how missing meals can lead to fat storage. There is lots of useful information on calories and not just the usual less is better nonsense that won't apply to everyone. The food pyramids however weren't completely legible on my Kindle, without zooming in a few times over the diagram. The example exercises are explained nicely too which I found useful for someone like me who isn't in the habit of taking the time to visit a gym but would like to keep in shape through exercising at home. My day job involves lifting heavy objects lot, so I am exercising the described core workouts to help avoid back problems.
