What is great about HIIT training is its ability to break up the monotony in a client’s sessions. Highly effective in a condensed amount of time. That is the whole intention of a HIIT workout. I am now teaching “Lunch Express”, a 45 minutes class at noon, 3 times a week intending to pack a punch. I was hooked! It felt like the most challenging and effective workout I had done yet. I recall barely making it through, genuinely questioning my purpose in life, hating my friend and instructor, only to be concluded with an incredible feeling of accomplishment when it was all over. I didn’t think twice when my friend invited me to join her for a HIIT class. I vividly remember my first class 5 years ago when I was starting my fitness path. I have been teaching a HIIT class three times a week for almost two years. HIIT is one of my favorite styles of training. Over time I’ve acquired go-to timing methods, exercise selection and ways to keep the energy going in a HIIT class. When I started teaching HIIT I was intimidated by the timing, the exercise selection, and my ability to keep the energy and motivation flowing in a class such as this. It is a challenging style of class to teach and fuel your students want to keep going. It’s ironic that High-Intensity Interval Training has the acronym H.I.I.T because it’s exactly how you feel afterward.
