Maintaining fitness and strength for Victoria goes beyond simply spending hours at the gym. HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training) is her key tool for effectively burning fat and strengthening.
She says, “I don’t have a lot of time to work out,” and “HIIT has changed everything for me.” It’s brief, strong, and successful.
Short bursts of high-intensity exercise followed by brief periods of rest or lower-intensity movement make up HIIT. Victoria says, “You go all out for 20 to 30 seconds, then rest for 10 seconds, then repeat. Though trust me, it sounds easy but is quite difficult!
Why HIIT Matters
The efficiency of HIIT is its charm. “You can get a fantastic workout in twenty to thirty minutes,” Victoria says. This type of training burns fat fast since it keeps your heart rate raised. Still, it goes beyond simply losing weight. “HIIT enables me to increase endurance and strength,” she notes. In one session, you are training your whole body—legs, core, arms.
The afterburn effect—scientifically referred to as excess post-exercise oxygen consumption—EPOC—is one of the reasons HIIT is so successful for fat burning. Victoria says, “My body burns calories for hours even after I finish. It’s like having twice the workout!
Tips for Victoria’s HIIT
For people just starting HIIT, Victoria provides some guidance:
Focus on Form: She advises, “especially since you’re moving quickly, proper form is key.” “Take your time learning the moves.”
Don’t Overdo It: “HIIT is intense; you don’t have to do it daily. Enough is three or four times a week.
Combine in strength bodyweight activities like squats and push-ups to increase muscle while you burn fat.
Victoria’s HIIT program can help you reach your goals—without spending hours at the gym—regardless of your goals—torch calories or increase power.
