Natural News Blog.2- Wellnessman Endorses “High Intensity Interval Training” With Orthotics

 

 

Today, “Wellnessman” is here to tell you what he believes is the most important thing you can do for your health: “High Intensity Interval Training” or “HIIT” for short. Unless you choose swimming as your type of exercise, the first thing that you want to do is get fitted with a pair of “orthotics” (prescription “arch supports”) by a biomechanically-inclined podiatrist. This will hold your foot in the proper position and balance the forces on the bottom of the foot evenly. Choose your form of exercise from walking, running, swimming, cycling or using an exercise machine. Here are your basic instructions:

 

  1. Start with a one minute regular speed “warm-up”.
  2. Then increase to a “faster” speed for 30 seconds.
  3. Do another one minute slower resting speed to catch your breath.
  4. Increase to the faster speed for another 30 seconds.
  5. Do another one minute slower resting speed again.
  6. Increase your speed one more time for 30 seconds.

 

Now you have done three “fast” intervals of 30 seconds. Repeat the same process whereby your “fast” intervals will be 20 seconds three different times and then 15 seconds three different times.  As you reduce your interval time try to increase your speed. This is the prescription given by Dr. Al Sears, MD with his “PACE” format (“Progressively Accelerating Cardiopulmonary Exertion”).

 

This technique will give you more “bang for your buck”. You will increase the oxygenation to your cells, increase your lung capacity and kick-start your metabolism as well. The entire workout should be roughly 12 to 15 minutes That should enable you to do this type of exercise regularly!  “Wellnessman” prefers to do his “interval training” in the morning, as it helps to wake him up and become energized to start his day.

 

Climb aboard the “Wellness Wagon” along with “Wellnessman” and incorporate “High Intensity Interval Training” into your daily routine and give yourself  a jolt of energy that will help keep you healthy and well . Don’t forget your orthotics before you start! Walk strong. Run strong.
