High Intensity Interval Training

High Intensity Interval Training:  High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) has been identified as the top fitness trend for 2014.  This form of cardio training involves short bursts of activity followed by a short period of rest or recovery.  Exercises led by your instructor may include various kinds of jumping jacks, burpees, mountain climbers, push-ups, lunges, and exercises to build core muscles.  Be prepared for a sweaty work-out.  Don’t forget to bring a large water bottle and a towel to keep your hands dry while doing all those push-ups.  This is probably one of the few fitness classes that engages an equal number of men and women.  The next trend on the horizon?  Rowing!
