10,9,8,7...1 Let’s start with the jog! The music is blaring, heart rate begins to rise, beads of sweat are starting to form, then burpees, pushups, jump squats…legs are burning. Pushups again? Arms are shaking, how many cycles? I’m tired, feel like quitting, but I won’t. I can feel the energy in the room, everybody is tired, but they’re pushing through it. It changes every time, it’s tough, it’s the last cycle, and I made it. I was a badass again, I had to dig deep, but I made it, through the tough part… the “first 15 minutes”, it pushes me to the brink every time, the trainers and other members all push each other to break through, to become more and why is it, and do more than I ever thought I could. And that’s the hurt that hurts so good?
Ilovekickboxing.com combines high intensity interval training, full body weight-bearing activities and stretching. High intensity interval training or HIIT would be the warm-up or “first 15 minutes.” It incorporates low to moderate intensity intervals (planks, pushups, and squats) with high intensity exercises like (jogging, burpees, plyometrics (jumping) & any other movements, which significantly increase heart rate. HIIT being good for burning fat, increasing metabolism and sustaining caloric burn throughout the day, which recent research says is more effective than traditional cardio. That’s only the first 15 minutes!
