Course Title: Introduction to HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training)

Start Date: 03/18/2021 End Date: 05/11/2021

Term: Spring Semester 2021

Description: HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training) is a method of exercising that combines high-intensity bouts of exercise with periods of rest or lower-intensity exercises in that relatively short period of time. HIIT has become a popular method of exercising because of the associated cardiovascular health benefits that can be achieved in a relatively short period of time. A typical HIIT workout is 10-30 minutes long depending on programming. In this course, students will be introduced to HIIT training in a safe and phased manner while workouts progressively become harder. Each class session will include a proper warm-up, a HIIT workout, and mobility work as a cool down. HIIT workouts may combine anaerobic (e.g. jumping, sprinting), aerobic (e.g. walking, jogging), strength (e.g. push-ups, lunges), and core (e.g. planks, squats) exercises.
