introduction

High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is on fire right now. Why is it so popular? We live in a society where every second needs to count or be accounted for. We lead busy lives and we want more bang for our buck, but in half the time. Unlike many things in life, HIIT can deliver on its promises.

If you can give me everything you’ve got for 20 minutes, I will give you a workout that will fire up your metabolism for 48 hours, help you defy age, build strength, increase definition, and improve your heart health.

As a master trainer for celebrity fitness instructor Tracy Anderson and now as official trainer to the Indianapolis Colts Cheerleaders and owner of Core Pilates and Fitness, I am tasked with helping people from all walks of life get fit, lose weight, and improve their overall health and fitness.

If you put forth the effort, I know this guide and HIIT can empower you to meet your fitness goals, too.
