High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) is now widely acknowledged to be the single most advantageous form of exercise for a wide range of fitness goals.

When compared side by side to other forms of cardiovascular training, HIIT repeatedly comes out on top. Not only that, but it does so in a fraction of the time when compared to continuous cardio training or steady state cardio. With HIIT, you will achieve superior gains over other forms of training in all the following areas:

- Weight loss
- Improving the body’s capacity to burn fat
- Increasing the anaerobic threshold, enabling you to work harder before the burn sets in
- Improving maximal oxygen uptake (VO2 max), a popular indicator of fitness
- Improving athletic performance
- Releasing beta-endorphins, providing a feeling of well-being
- Exercise enjoyment
- And much more

HIIT works by using short duration high intensity sprints together with nice and easy recovery periods such as walks or slow jogs. This makes the sprints extremely tolerable and enjoyable.

Yet few people use or even know about HIIT and its incredible power!

Find out just how effective interval training is and how it can be used in only a fraction of the time when compared to continuous training such as jogging at the same speed for up to an hour at a time.

Discover the different forms of HIIT training such as Tabata, Fartlek, the Little Method and how best to use them.

For the first time – Learn a range of high intensity exercises and training modes which are perfect for HIIT - Exercises you can perform either at the gym, in the park or at home.

Learn how to craft and make use of your own HIIT training designs, specifically to help you achieve your exercise goals in an incredibly quick time.

The science is conclusive! HIIT will change your life!

If you are into effective and challenging physical fitness programs this fantastic book is for you. I loved it.

ByJoseph J. TruncaleTOP 1000 REVIEWERVINE VOICEon May 5, 2016

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I am a senior and in my 70s I have been into physical fitness all my life. Lately I have been researching various kinds of fitness programs being promoted today. I have purchased numerous books on fitness including this 229 page soft cover volume (HIIT High intensity Interval Training Explained by James Driver). I am familiar with most physical fitness programs as I have tried many (Circuit training routines, WOD routines, U.S. Navy SEAL Fitness programs, Army Fitness programs, Boxing aerobics, Kick boxing aerobics, Tactical aerobics, PACE etc.) of them over the years.

I have always believed in challenging myself and I love the approach to fitness of this HIIT program. I love the fact that you can achieve optimum fitness without having to spend hours at the gym. I was also very happy to read about the research being done lately on the effectiveness of doing high intensity interval training. This fantastic book covers some of the latest research comparing HIIT workouts to other types of cardiovascular training. This text is organized into three parts.

Part one gives an introduction to the HIIT philosophy and why it works so well to achieve high levels of fitness. The second part covers why HIIT is superior to continuous training methods when it comes to exercise enjoyment, weight loss, exercise duration and other factors. The final part explains how to implement HIIT programs. This part goes into the required HIIT intensity, HIIT frequency, HIIT protocols, nutrition and other topics. I was especially fascinated with the wide variety of HIIT programs one can practice and get great results. I also loved doing the “Tabata” routine but I did it for 12 cycles rather than the 8 circles and found it to be fantastic. I also do numerous stretching and yoga asanas to balance my workout routine.

If you are into physical fitness or sports this is a must read book on the HIIT exercise philosophy. I loved it.

Rating: 5 Stars. Joseph J. Truncale (Author: Samurai Aerobics for Fitness)

Thorough and Informative

BySusanon November 13, 2013

Format: Paperback

I've now read a few books on HIIT but after reading this book there's no need to buy any more. This book was by far the longest and most thorough and informative of the bunch. Not only that, but the book truly does inspire you to get out there and start hitting it. The book starts with scientific studies which show the superiority of short intense workouts as compared to longer and more manageable exercise. Then it goes into the more practical aspects such as the range of things you can actually do during a HIIT session. I was surprised to read that the list is quite long and you don't need to be a member of a gym in order to follow the advice in this book. Best of all, as long as you have at least a small amount of exercise experience, one can start HIIT immediately. I'm looking forward to getting more from my workouts and in less time, win/win.

This is the real deal

ByTravison May 9, 2012

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I learned about intervals last year and incorporated them in my cycling program. Long story short I was able to get better results in less amount of training time. For the first time I was able to do a century in under 5 hrs, so I know they work. Get ready though because they hurt! ....in a good way.

I got this book to understand more of why they worked and more tips on how to do them. This book does not dissapoint, I am motivated to keep it up. Very good information! Short and to the point.

Very Informative

BySue Fleckensteinon May 14, 2012

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I have been trying to get into a regular exercise routine for the last few months. I am great at getting one started and then seem to let things lapse. What I liked about this book is the concept of short and sweet. I have done some interval training in the past and know that it can be effective. I love the idea of picking out a spot in between two trees and making that your circuit, so to speak. I can easily do this as I live out in the country and have lots of trees outside.

I like the idea of changing up your routine and this book does a good job of explaining why and how High Intensity Interval Training works. I plan on getting out my bike and fixing the tire and doing some interval training while cycling. The book is just the right length with a good amount of detail, but not too much as to put you off the idea of HIIT altogether. An informative and enjoyable read.

If you are looking for short duration workouts you won't find them here. Each workout runs between 20 to 30 minutes, which means a really hard HIIT workout. Guaranteed results.

Extremely engaging throughout. If a book can be judged on whether or not it will change your habits and can actually improve your life, then this book is right up there.

I can't wait to try this!

ByKaye Ton May 8, 2012

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I have lost a lot of weight over the past few years, but have really been wanting to shake up my own exercise routine a bit. I love biking and walking but really can't seem to push myself to get into running. I think maybe this method might change that for me and I'm so excited about it.

I've been thinking about trying some interval training but haven't really been sure where to start with this. This book gave me exactly the info and roadmap I was looking for. The book is laid out very nicely and I love how the author teaches without assuming that the reader understands all of the mechanics of exercise.

I especially perked up when I read that this type of training can be done very nicely with cycling. YAY! Maybe I will start with that after all and then see how I go with the running to vary my routine.

I loved that the book includes sample HIIT tracks that are visual. It really helped me to understand exactly what the routine would be like. Definitely recommend this book to anyone looking to shake up their exercise routine or learn more about getting started with interval training.
