Book Description

High-Intensity Interval training is the top fitness trend in the U.S. according to the annual survey conducted by the American College of Sports Medicine... and for good reason! HIIT is widely recognized as the most efficient and effective way to burn fat and get in top physical condition. By alternating between intense bursts of exercise and less-intense periods of activity, the body burns more calories--even after working out--in less time compared to traditional forms of exercise.

Written by the Official Trainer of the Indianapolis Colts Cheerleaders, High-Intensity Interval Training for Women is a step-by-step, highly visual guide packed with exercises, workouts, and multi-day programs to satisfy every fitness goal and any time commitment. Featured images include the Indianapolis Colts Cheerleaders in both swimsuit and game day attire. Women will learn the right way to perform more than 80 HIIT exercises that can be done anywhere and cover all the major muscle groups, with emphasis on core and lower body, and then they will learn how to integrate those exercises into a variety of workouts and programs that maximize results over a minimal amount of time.
