What is HIIT?

High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) is short rounds of high-intensity exercise followed by periods of recovery. The basic recipe is to go as hard as you can, rest and then repeat. Olympic athletes have been using this type of training for years and it is now one of the most popular fitness trends in the world. Why? Because it works. The secret to ultimate fitness and results is not in adding volume, but intensity.

 

HIIT works best as part of a wider fitness routine

LES MILLS GRIT™ workouts are best served on top of some base fitness and other moderate intensity exercise. Just remember there can be too much of a good thing. HIIT is hard core and your body needs time to recover. Keep your LES MILLS GRIT™ sessions to 2-3 times a week (maximum) as part of a wider fitness diet and you’ll be flying in no time. You get results. It’s that simple.

WHY BODYPUMP DRIVES AMAZING RESULTS
Bryce Hastings, at Les Mills, NZ

The secret to BODYPUMP is The Rep Effect – a breakthrough in resistance training that helps create long, lean muscles and a toned, strong physique.

Research has confirmed that BODYPUMP™ has strong calorie and fat-burning effects and it improves aerobic fitness, muscular strength, and muscular endurance. There is also evidence that BODYPUMP classes can have positive psychological benefits.

The secret to BODYPUMP is The Rep Effect a breakthrough in resistance training that is proven to deliver a total body transformation. The Rep Effect throws traditional thinking about lifting heavy weights on its head. It exhausts muscles using light weights, while performing high repetitions.

Using The Rep Effect, BODYPUMP classes give you sculpted shoulders, defined biceps and triceps, strong lean legs, firm glutes and a tight core. Choreography in each of these areas is specifically targeted so you’ll burn fat, burn more calories and achieve more meaningful fat loss and muscle fatigue. The end result is that you build strength without building bulk. 

In a typical BODYPUMP class you’ll perform between 800 and 1000 reps in a single group workout. That’s more than four times the amount a person can achieve when training alone.
