HIIT vs. LIIT?
High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) can be demanding. Low-Intensity Interval Training (LIIT) offers a refreshing change. LIIT involves short bursts
of low-intensity exercise followed by brief rest periods. Think of it like a leisurely stroll with occasional sprints. It is gentler on joints and the body, which is great for all fitness levels.
Benefits for India
LIIT is ideal for the Indian lifestyle. It can be easily incorporated into busy schedules, allowing for flexibility. It's adaptable to various environments, from a park 'round the corner to your own home. LIIT can be a safer, more sustainable way to exercise, especially for those with mobility limitations or health issues.
Creating a Routine
Designing a LIIT routine is simple! Start with a warm-up, then alternate between a low-intensity activity (like brisk walking, cycling) and short, gentle bursts of higher intensity (like a faster walk or a few jumping jacks). Cool down at the end. Remember to consult your doctor before starting any new exercise program.
Beyond the Gym
LIIT can be integrated into daily activities! Try a fast-paced walk during your lunch break, or a short dance session with your favourite Bollywood music. Even household chores can become part of your routine. Embrace the flexibility and find joy in the process.
Staying Consistent, Staying Healthy
Consistency is key. Start with 2-3 LIIT sessions per week, gradually increasing duration and intensity as you get fitter. Listen to your body, take rest days, and enjoy the process. Celebrate small victories and remember that every little bit counts on your journey to a healthier you!
