Ready to challenge yourself in ways you’ve never experienced before? Take on HIIT the Limit – a new kind of fat-burning gym plan!
Introducing: Limit HIIT. A brand new, never-seen-before training style that creates a level of calorie burn like no other. Following the basic ‘time-on, time off’ principles of regular HIIT, Limit HIIT is designed to use staggered sets to elevate your heart rate gradually, preparing you for 100%-capacity working sets. Your body fat won’t know what HIIT it.
Each Limit HIIT exercise is built up of 5 sets broken down as follows:
Set 1: Warm-up – 50% of maximum ability
Set 2: Preparation – 75% of maximum ability
Set 3: Limit HIIT – 90-100% of maximum ability
Set 4: Recovery – 75% of maximum ability
Set 5: Limit HIIT – 90-100% of maximum ability
Aside from the Limit HIIT workouts, we’ll also develop a healthy combination of progressive weight training, interval cardio, and short flexibility routines all built with the ultimate fat-loss goal in mind.
Try it out – HIIT the Limit pushes you to exactly that!
HIIT the Limit is built up of 4 training days and 1 optional stretching and recovery day per week. Each new week begins with a lower and upper body Limit HIIT workout. It's these two workouts that are your opportunity to unleash the inner beast. Follow the Limit HIIT style as if there's no tomorrow - this is where the calories will truly fall.
After the optional stretching and recovery day, take the chance to freshly dive into the weekly cardio session. Our mission (should you choose to accept it) is to have you running, at a solid pace, for 30 minutes straight. The cardio workouts are both progressive and challenging, and if followed correctly, will have you feeling like a 30-minute run is just a warm-up. However, if running isn't your thing, simply substitute the runs with a power bike ride or row.
Closing each week you'll find your resistance workout. Building muscle = a faster metabolism, and who's not looking for that? Focusing mostly on compound movements, the objective with each workout is to not only increase the resistance from the weeks before but also build a stack of confidence while performing each exercise. You'll be pushing, pulling, and squatting with new muscles you didn't even know you had.
With each exercise, as always, review the instructions in detail. With great form comes more strength and safer lifts.
