The Positive Effects of HIT Training


Having over four years experience in the hospitality industry in Miami, Florida, Erin Pillon currently serves as the VIP hostess for various popular nightclubs in the downtown area, including Space Nightclub and Mokai Nightclub. With a passion for dance and fitness, Erin Pillon never takes a day off from exercise, often doing HIT training, a very high intensity workout for overall weight loss and strength training.

HIT training stands for High-Intensity Interval Training. Research shows that 15 minutes of this high-energy exercise three days a week can be more effective than jogging on a treadmill for an hour. A 2011 study conducted by the American College of Sports Medicine showed that after two weeks of HIT Training, aerobic capacity improved to a level equal to that of six to eight weeks of endurance training. It's easy to fit in to a busy schedule, and means less time in the gym.

HIT training improves endurance and burns calories in an effective way, with intense exertion burning more fat in the 24-hours following a workout than after a simple jog. The heart gets a serious workout, with important cardiovascular strength being at the forefront of this method. No equipment is needed, and it can be done anywhere.
