High Rewards from High Intensity Training
"You can workout hard or you can workout long; you can’t do both".
It's a classic statement that many people in the physical fitness world, and all in the HIT world, will be familiar with, and it does sum up the basics of High Intensity Training (HIT). While the statement is true and the title of the discipline self-explanatory, there’s a little more to it than would be immediately apparent.
Originating as a form of strength training and workout methodology, HIT training can be both an isolated strength session or form part of longer sessions. Typically the latter approach, it's most commonly part of Metabolic Conditioning (Met-Cons/metcon) sessions, which are a combination of both strength and cardiovascular (CV/cardio) based activities, as well as pure cardio training sessions.
