Is BuildHIIT a Good Workout?  

BuildHIIT is high intensity interval training, one of the fastest most effective training methods; You can expect strength, cardiovascular, and brain health benefits: 

• Strength. Progressive Overload Training, as in BuildHIIT, builds strength in a safe, effective manner. In the beginning round of an exercise, the participant builds the base exercise, focusing on form and range of motion. In successive rounds, participants challenge their base with additional weight or a bigger range of motion to build strength. 
• Cardiovascular Endurance. The Cardio and Core segments of BuildHIIT challenge participants’ cardiovascular endurance through 2-minute intensity drills interspersed with 1-minute core stability challenges. This allows participants to build heart strength, sending more oxygen to the muscles, boosting VO2 Max, and lowering blood pressure. Participants recover briefly with the core intervals, then push their limits with two more cardio challenges. 
• Core Stability. Core strength and stability is the key to all strength exercises and should be coached throughout the workout. Additionally, the Core component of the Cardio and Core blocks should challenge participants’ ability to maintain balance, muscle coordination, and postural alignment.  
• Brain Health.  Research indicates that HIIT elevates BDNF, a protein that stimulates the growth of neurons and protects your brain. BDNF may offset the risk of degenerative brain diseases and cognitive decline.  

How Difficult is BuildHIIT?  

6/10. The exercises in BuildHIIT are high intensity and fun, but easy to execute. The instructor’s level options, and the cheering of your teammates will make the time fly.  The variety of exercises and training techniques will build your muscles and improve your cardiovascular health.
