Using HIIT—high intensity interval training—Gina proves that getting in shape doesn’t have to consume your daily life.
New York, NY (PRWEB) January 21, 2015
Gina Harney, creator of the award-winning healthy living, diet, and fitness blog, Fitnessista.com, helps people work smarter, not harder, with one of the most effective fitness trends of the moment--HIIT, high intensity interval training.
In Gina’s highly anticipated workout and diet guide, "HIIT It!," she proves that getting in shape doesn't have to consume a person's daily life. HIIT helps maximize workouts in order to make a sustainable lifestyle change even with the busiest of schedules.
"Start small and build up from there," coaches Gina. "It's easy to get overwhelmed and try to make a bunch of changes at once; it's a quick way to burn out. Pick one goal to go after and once you achieve that weekly goal, try a new small one to add on the following week."
Gina doesn't only favor HIIT when it comes to working out--she's also adapted the HIIT principles as part of a balanced and nutritious diet plan:
"High Intensity Interval Training refers to difficult work intervals mixed with periods of rest," explains Gina. "By doing so, you elevate your heart rate, burn a ton of calories, and boost power and fitness gains in an efficient matter. I took the HIIT acronym, and created this phrase, "Healthy Intermittent and Intuitive Tracked meals." With a HIIT style of eating, you still have your "work" intervals (creating your meal plans and prepping your food), but after that point, you're able to reap the rewards during the rest period. By preparing yourself for success, you're able to make healthy diet choices all week."
With a focus on short, effective workouts and simple, tasty nutrient-dense meals and snacks, Gina's upbeat and humorous advice helps make lasting lifestyle changes to keep people looking great and feeling amazing.
