A term you may have heard but were uncertain about is “HIIT,” which stands for “High Intensity Interval Training.” It’s a form of training that involves cycles of high intensity bursts followed low-to-moderate intensity recovery.

Why should you care about HIIT? Because it has been shown to burn adipose tissue (aka “fat”) up to 50% more effectively than low-intensity exercise. Because the intensity is higher than your typical cardio, you are able to increase BOTH your aerobic and anaerobic endurance. The result of increasing both of these energy expenditure systems (think “metabolism”) is a greater rate of fat burning.

And as a bonus, this also allows you to keep our workouts shorter. Tired of the same old thing? Not getting results? Maybe it’s time to give HIIT a try.

I was in a rough spot with my nutrition and my training was suffering. I reached out to Matthew for some advice hoping he would guide in the right direction. He told me about an accountability group he would facilitate. I accepted the invitation and never looked back. The nutrition plan was very good (tasteful) and being accountable to fitness was great… The people I took this journey with were fantastic and so encouraging. It was exactly what I needed at the time. Thank you Matthew for the experience and believing in me…
