High Intensity Workouts

[Coakieanos]

Dear Cathe and Educated Crowd,

Are the IMAX workouts considered HIIT(high intensity interval training)? If so, what are the benefits of such training?

Thnks

Imax workouts are interval workouts. They most definitely qualify as HIIT, IMO.

I think especially if you do the Cardio only premixes, like in Imax2, where you do the blast, then the recovery for each interval, but you skip the normal aerobic step portion. This way you get a shorter more intense workout. I'm not sure if Imax3 has a premix like that, I've been doing just fine with the normal version!
