Time to burn fat faster!
Level Red Boxing provides workouts- currently being streamed online due to the pandemic- that involve unique, high-intensity interval training, to help boost fat burning, muscle endurance, and muscle toning! HIIT is a training method in which you give your all, one hundred percent effort through quick, intense bursts of exercise, followed by short, sometimes active, recovery periods. This type of training gets and keeps your heart rate up and in turn burns more fat in less time compared to normal weightlifting. The average HIIT routine varies between 20-60 minutes, and usually requires the use of functional movements and light weights (Kettlebells, Medicine Balls, or Dumbbells).
Now that you understand the premise of HIIT. Where should you begin? Jump roping is a simple and very effective way to get the blood pumping all over the body while performing light cardio. And if you don’t own a jump rope, no worries! You can simply jump in place as if you did in fact have one. Or, if jump roping isn’t your taste… Burpees are another fantastic cardio inducing move! They’ll wear you out, so be sure to keep in mind this would make a great starter or ender movement. Otherwise, after you’ve finished your warm-up workout, you’ll then begin to mix in body weight functional moves such as planks, crunches, squats, or chair dips. After each movement, you’ll take a minute break and then perform another cardio inducing movement such as high knees, mountain climbers, or speed skaters. After your desired time, you’ll certainly be feeling the effects!
Many HIIT workouts can be performed with household objects if the need for additional weight is desired to complete a movement. Plus, it’s more fun to get creative when working out at home! For example, when performing weighted squats or Russian twists, a person can use a small nap-sack filled with heavier household items or a gallon of milk to help aid in resistance.
Lastly, due to the limited amount of “rest periods” throughout the HIIT routines, it’s important to keep hydrated and stretch before and after workouts. Nothing is worse than getting cramped up or pulling a muscle while trying to better your boxing game.
