how are we everyone my name is max and
0:01
i'm a my pro team personal trainer today
0:04
we're going to talk about hit versus
0:11
we're going to look at both of them
0:13
individually in terms of what are they
0:15
and what are the benefits and then it's
0:17
down to you to decide which is right for
0:19
you let's start with hit and what is it
0:21
hit stands for high intensity interval
0:23
training and is a form of cardiovascular
0:25
exercise there is no specific real
0:27
really with it it can be done anywhere
0:29
anytime it involves a short burst of
0:32
intense exercise of anywhere from 10
0:34
seconds to a few minutes followed by a
0:36
short period of rest usually similar to
0:39
the length of time worked before
0:40
repeating this sequence most hit
0:42
workouts last less than 30 minutes and
0:45
can therefore be done a few times a week
0:47
an example of a hit session could simply
0:49
be a circuit involving six different
0:51
exercises which you perform back to back
0:53
where you work for 30 seconds followed
0:56
by 30 seconds rest completing that
0:58
circuit three times it has become
1:00
increasingly more popular as it is
1:02
perfect for people who want to exercise
1:04
but don't have much free time so fits in
1:07
perfect with busy modern day lives so
1:10
what are the benefits of hit the most
1:11
obvious really is the one already
1:12
mentioned that it literally can be done
1:14
anywhere anytime with no equipment and
1:17
is easy to fit into busy schedules so if
1:20
you're working a nine to five a
1:22
full-time parent or just spend long
1:24
hours in the office a quick 30 minute
1:26
blast first thing in the morning may be
1:28
the perfect option for you there are
1:30
also studies to suggest that hit
1:32
training can burn more calories in other
1:34
types of training so maybe the better
1:36
option for overall weight loss can boost
1:38
your metabolic rate for longer periods
1:40
after training which is sometimes
1:42
referred to as the afterburn effect
1:44
amongst other things like potentially
1:46
reducing high blood pressure and
1:47
improving your endurance levels so let's
1:49
now take a look at list training firstly
1:51
what does it stand for list training is
1:53
low intensity steady state training this
1:56
is basically the reverse of hit training
1:59
so instead of going all out for short
2:01
sharp bursts you exercise gently for
2:05
periods this training is generally any
2:07
exercise that's been done lightly with
2:09
little impact over long durations so
2:12
walking like jogging or a gentle cycle
2:14
are all great examples of this now we
2:17
know what list training is what are the
2:18
benefits of it one is that it can be
2:20
very convenient to fit in as although it
2:23
may take longer simply walking to the
2:25
shops rather than driving can be classed
2:27
as you're getting your list training
2:28
done for me i get mine done daily first
2:30
thing in the morning by taking my dog
2:32
out for his walk and it's as simple as
2:34
that the big benefit however is that
2:36
although it may not burn the most
2:37
calories per workout there are studies
2:39
to suggest it does burn the most fat per
2:42
calorie during a workout this is because
2:44
when there's more oxygen available to
2:46
you it's easier for your body to
2:47
metabolize fat and since you are not
2:49
pushing yourself right to the limits and
2:51
getting shorter breath there is plenty
2:53
of oxygen to go around this means that
2:55
if fat loss rather than overall weight
2:57
loss is your goal list training may be
3:00
the answer to briefly summarize both
3:02
types of training definitely have their
3:04
place and each will fit into different
3:06
people's goals and their lifestyles and
3:08
there may even be a place for both
3:09
within yours as there is in mind that
3:11
just about covers everything today thank
