High-intensity Training: Definition, Benefits & Best Equipment to Buy

Do you feel like you’ve reached a plateau in your fitness level? It’s not unusual for even the most enthusiastic and experienced weight lifters and fitness fanatics to reach a point where they feel they’ve stalled, that their gains have slowed, or that they’ve reached a limit in what they can do.

It’s also not unusual to get bored of this limbo pretty fast, and start looking for ways to take your stamina and your fitness to the next level. HIIT workouts are a great way to get results and keep your workout routine fresh. Before discussing some of the best equipment you can buy for high-intensity training, we have to establish what we mean by “high-intensity training.”

What is High-intensity Interval Training?

HIIT, also known as “high-intensity interval training,” is all about efficiency, with most workout routines involving 20-25 seconds of high intensity exercises with 10-20 seconds of low intensity exercises.  Typically, HITT workouts lasting anywhere from 15-45 minutes. HIIT is focused on raising your metabolic rate through sheer intensity and speed, building lean muscle mass and burning calories. Common high-intensity exercises include:

• • • Mountain climbers
    • Push-ups
    • Jumping jacks
    • Alternating kettlebell swings
    • Rowing (Rowing machine)
    • Biking (Exercise bike) and more

Benefits of High-intensity Interval Training

High-intensity interval training offers significant benefits for those looking to take their workout routine to the next level. Some of the benefits of HITT include:

• • • Burn calories more quickly
    • Build muscle in your upper body, lower body and core
    • Burn fat and lose weight
    • Improves blood circulation 
    • Lower blood pressure and more 

The Best Equipment to Buy for High-intensity Training

You can do High-intensity training with or without exercise machines. Specialized equipment, however, can offer unique benefits. Below, we’ll discuss some of the best home exercise machines you can buy for high-intensity training:
