Tuesday


There is some confusion regarding what high intensity interval training (HIIT) is and how it is different than high intensity circuit training. HIIT constitutes a intense period of exercise followed by a rest period to allow some recover to occur. During a high intensity circuit the goal is to bomb through the circuit as fast as possible. Due to the rest in the HIIT workout the intensity can be maintained throughout the training session or at least very close, whereas during a circuit, intensity will start to take noticeable drops until completed. Both are beneficial in a training program, just program well enough that intensity remains high in either case.

Training:
Power clean 3x5
Rest 5- 10 minutes
5 swings left arm
5 swings right arm
5 snatches left arm
5 snatches right arm
10 burpees
Rest 1 minute
5 rounds for time
