The biggest takeaway is the importance of finding the right intensity level for YOU.

• Not for your friend.
• Not for what you think it should look like.
• Not for the girl next to you in bootcamp.
• High intensity may LOOK different for everyone, but it FEELS the same.
• Be confident in how you FEEL.

What is HIIT?

Dr. Len Kravitz defines HIIT as system of cardiovascular training that involves alternating between high- and light- intensity intervals of exercise of varying lengths of time. Intensity refers to the level of exercise exertion, or how hard you exercise.  And of course, as with all workouts, it includes a warm up and cool down period​.

What we discuss

• benefits,
• a few misunderstandings,
