Styles of Training
HIIT: The acronym HIIT stands for high-intensity interval training. HIIT workouts consist of short, all-out bursts of exercise, followed by very short rest periods. They typically last no longer than 30 minutes and are a great option for those looking to burn fat and build muscle.
Cross-training: Whether you're a runner or an avid weightlifter, you should implement cross-training into your current workout routine. Essentially, it's utilizing more than one method of training in order to improve your physical performance. Running long distances every single day will eventually tear your body down and put you at risk for injury. Doing elliptical, biking, and swimming workouts are just a few examples of cross-training that will still keep you in tip-top shape.
Low-intensity steady-state cardio: Commonly referred to as LISS, this is a style of cardio that is performed at a low-intensity for a longer period of time. Your blood is pumping, but your heart rate will be steady throughout the duration of activity. Examples of LISS are walking on a treadmill at an incline, riding a bike, and running at a moderate pace.
