There are many gyms around the country that only focus on high intensity interval training work outs, and many of the ones who don’t focus solely on high intensity interval training, offer classes. One of the major draws to high intensity interval training is that, it is said, there is fat burn from twenty-four to seventy-two hours after the shorter workout is completed. Which is appealing to anyone who has a busy life with work, children and social lives. Time is the number one reason that people do not work out, “I am too busy” or “I don’t have enough time”.

The HIIT group showed a…

Not everyone has a consciousness to exercise, especially if you are busy with work. The reason there was no time. That is why high-intensity interval training (HIIT) trend.

purpose of this research study is to determine the effects of a high intensity versus a low intensity warm up on oxygen deficit and performance. This study hypothesized that the oxygen deficit levels will decrease with a high intensity warm up, therefore reaching steady state faster compared to a low intensity warm up. The Independent Variables are high intensity warm up versus a low intensity warm up, and the Dependent Variable are Oxygen Deficit and performance. There are also limitations…

Assignment High Intensity Interval Training (Crossfit) vs. Moderate Intensity Exercise Obesity is a hot topic in today’s American culture especially within the health and fitness world.
