High intensity threshold training or HITT. Since the acronym sounds similar to HIIT (high intensity interval training) I prefer the term “Thresholds.” The difference? Interval training is when you bring your heart rate (HR) up for a short time, then let your HR go back down or a set interval time. Think of a graph with a wave that goes up and down. 🔹 Threshold training is where you bring your HR up, and move from one obstacle (exercise) to the next with little to no break between exercises. Your HR goes up and stays up until the round (series of exercises) are complete. As you might imagine, Thresholds are challenging. Rest between rounds or not. 🔹 In this example I chose my least favorite exercises. Why? I personally believe it’s wise to perform a variety of exercise types (assuming they don’t cause discomfort/pain) to challenge your body to adapt. 🔹 This Threshold’s summary: 1: Jump rope for as long as your able without faltering. 2: Rower. Try to row as far as you can (400-500 meters) in 2:00 minutes. 3: Air Assault Bike. 10 second sprints with 20 seconds rest for 3 to 6 sprints. 4: Punching bag or shadow box 30-60 seconds (I had to cut this out video for time). 5: Abdominal 1: hanging leg or knee raises to failure. 6: Rooted tree with wind: grab a cable machine. Place cable at or above head level. Grab handle and move away at 90 degrees from machine. Hold arms straight out in front. Slowly move arms up to head level and below in a straight line. Go to failure. 9: whilst prone on mat, raise upper body by using lower back and glutes. Slowly move arms front to back like your flying till failure. 🔹 I still have more “good vs bad exercise” videos planned. Stay tuned. 🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹 "We Forge Ourselves in the Fire of our Will” 🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹 #trainsmarter #HITT #thresholds #highintensitythresholdtraining #iforgepro #properlifting #exercisevariations #exercisephysiologymajor #personaltrainer #cardiotrainingcircuit (at Miami Beach, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6TMdEalKls/?igshid=1nd4sq4qew28e
