By now everyone knows what the acronym HIIT stands for - High Intensity Interval Training. It is a great workout that helps you achieve a higher caloric burn in a shorter amount of time. Unfortunately, for the more conditioned individual that really enjoys pushing him or herself, HIIT training often seems watered down and they leave with a lot of gas left in the tank; unsatisfied. For that individual it is time to level up - enter SIIT, or, Sprint Interval Training!
Sprint 8, designed by international speed coach Phil Campbell, is eight - 30 second all-out sprints followed by 90 seconds of active recovery. Achieving the highest level of intensity for 30 seconds or less provides the training edge that transforms the body to its highest potential and in much less time. Sprint 8 improves performance at a cellular level and can double endurance capacity in as little as two weeks.
To know if you are achieving the maximum benefit from each sprint and reaching HGH release benchmarks, look for the following signs:
1. OUT OF BREATH
When it comes to anaerobic interval training, this is one of those conditions where “you’ll know it when you’ve arrived.” During the recovery from this state, the body pays back the oxygen debt by increasing heart rate and supplying oxygen to the blood with hard, rapid breathing. The oxygen debt generated during exercise triggers HGH release.
2. MUSCLE BURN
The sensation that you feel in your muscles during high-intensity cardio exercises is caused by lactic acid. What’s more, reaching the “muscle burn” stage corresponds with release of HGH into your body. In fact, researchers show that HGH is released 16 minutes after reaching the “lactic acid threshold.”
3. INCREASE IN BODY TEMP
Research shows that increasing body temperature is an important benchmark — a good warm-up should raise your body temperature by approximately one degree.
4. ADRENAL RESPONSE
Your 20-minute HIIT workout must achieve the out-of-breath, slightly painful level of intensity that produces an epinephrine response before HGH is released.
