4 Benefits of High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) – the Diva 30-60-90 HIIT

June 21, 2019 by divas 1 Comment

Hello divas! I hope that your week is going well so far. Mine has been pretty good. I have started my training for my next half marathon over Labor Day weekend. I am proud that I was able to walk the Nashville half post injury but now I am ready to get back to running, fitness and the healthy habits that I let slide during my injury.

The number one thing I have learned in all my training for my races is the necessity to cross train. One of my favorite cross training activities is high intensity interval training. I am a big fan and many of my favorite workout programs (such as Insanity)fall into this category.

So today I am sharing some some new fitness tips and some of the benefits of HIIT workouts. I am also sharing a easy HIIT style workout from home as well – my Diva HIIT Workout.

4 Benefits of High Intensity Interval Training

1. HIIT is Efficient

One of the best things about HIIT workouts is that they are super fast. Because you are doing exercises that are high intensity, you can get a full body workout in minutes. This is great for those days when there is just not enough time in the day to exercise. HIIT also burns more fat and calories than steady cardio because of the high intensity. I love to combine my strength training with some cardio bursts to really get a good workout.

2. There is Little to No Equipment Necessary

These workouts typically use exercises that require little to no equipment. Most of the ones that I have been using only requires the use of my kettlebells or dumbbells for a few of the strength moves. But there are ways to get the same workout using exercises requiring only your body weight.

3. All Levels Welcome

Unlike some workouts out there, HIIT can be done by literally any level of fitness. There are many different routines that can be done based on ability.

4. Workout Anywhere

Because there is little to no equipment necessary to do a HIIT workout, this means that you can do it anywhere. Which is great when traveling or visiting family and friends.

As a bonus for all you lovely readers, I have created The Diva 30-60-90 HIIT Workout to share with you all today. The only equipment needed for this workout is something to time the exercises and either a hand weight or a kettlebell for the weight exercises. This workout takes 36 minutes and incorporates both cardio and strength. Enjoy!

    I like that you mentioned that HIIT workouts are super fast and you can get a great workout in minutes. I’ve been trying to lose a few extra pounds to look slimmer and healthier. Maybe I should look for a trainer with a HIT training certification and get started on a fitness path.
