High-intensity Training (HIT) and Bodyweight Exercises

We are living in the age when being healthy is not enough. Strength and power – that is what we want! And it is, of course, understandable, since intense training has been proven to be extremely successful.

So if your goal is to lose weight, strengthen your muscles or kickstart your metabolism, then interval training is just what you need.

High-intensity bodyweight training is very convenient and does not cost much. The good thing about the HIT is that you would not need tons of expensive fitness equipment. Nevertheless, these exercises are so intensive and fast-paced that they torch loads of calories and are proven to be effective.
