How to get started with High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) by building your own customized workout courtesy of me and the New York Times

You can find lots of evidence of how HIIT is good for you. Here, for example, which is where the diagram comes from. Or you can search on “HIIT benefits” and find countless examples of how it works and how it helps.

Even if you are convinced (or even curious) about achieving those benefits by doing HIIT, you may be put off by some of the training routines you find online. (I know I was….too difficult, I thought.)

Well, be put off no more. Instead, go to this gift link for the New York Times and learn how you can build your own achievable HIIT routine.

Some of the benefits of building your own routine are:

  • you can pick exercises that focus on certain areas (e.g. your core)
  • you can avoid exercises that might not be suitable for you or that you might hate (e.g. burpees)
  • there are enough different exercises that you should have no problem in putting together your own HIIT routine.
  • You can pick different ways of going hard and taking a break.

Sounds good? I think so. Next step: go to the gift link and find out more.
