Classes are held with Yolanda and Charli 3 times a week, please see the timetable.
BURNING MORE FAT DURING AND AFTER CLASS Not only do you burn more calories during MAX Interval Training workouts, but the effect of all that intense exertion kicks your body's repair cycle into hyperdrive. That means you can burn more fat and calories in the 24 hours after a MAX Interval Training workout. This phase of training is called EPOC: Excess Postexercise Oxygen Consumption.
During EPOC, the body restores itself to its pre-exercise state and thus is consuming oxygen at an elevated rate. This means that energy is also being expended at an elevated rate.
The more intensely you perform your aerobic sessions, the greater the EPOC you will generate. Ideally you would actually move into the anaerobic range while doing MAX Interval drills to really benefit from the after-calorie-burning effects.
ADAPTATION RESPONSE Your body begins to adapt to changes during exercise. You develop the capacity to work harder for longer and recover faster, resulting in cardiovascular fitness gains.
CROSS-TRAINING BENEFITS By exercising your muscles in a MAX Interval Training Programme, you'll put them through a series of tests, which cause them to build up in strength and firmness, rendering them less prone to injury. These changes result in improved performance, particularly with the cardiovascular system.
CALORIE BURNING More calories are burned in high-intensity, shorter-duration intervals than in moderate-intensity, steady-state training. You may be working harder, but you are also working smarter.
BUILDING AEROBIC AND ANAEROBIC CAPACITY Improving the strength of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems. This is your ability to take in oxygen and deliver it to the working muscles with greater efficiency.
Improved heart strength. Increased stroke volume (volume of blood pumped per beat). Increased blood flow. Increased number of capillaries in the muscle.
EFFICIENCY You can achieve more progress in a mere 15 minutes of interval training (done three times a week) than jogging on the treadmill for an hour. According to a 2011 study presented at the American College of Sports Medicine Annual Meeting, just 2 weeks of high-intensity intervals improves your aerobic capacity as much as 6 to 8 weeks of endurance training.
LOSING WEIGHT, NOT MUSCLE Anyone who has been on a diet knows that it is difficult not to lose muscle mass along with fat. Studies show that MAX Interval Training workouts allow you to preserve hard-earned muscles while ensuring most of the weight loss comes from fat store.
INCREASED METABOLISM MAX Interval Training stimulates production of human growth hormone (HGH) by up to 450% during the 24 hours after you finish your workout. This is a significant benefit because HGH is not only responsible for increased caloric burn, but also slows down the aging process, making you you younger both inside and out.
See you at a class very soon then!
