Max reHIT Workout guides you through proven reduced-exertion high-intensity interval workouts wherever you are, whenever you have time, doing exercises you enjoy. Become your own personal interval trainer and get fit, get healthy, and lose weight in just 23 minutes a week. REHIT workouts use short cycles of intense exercise, followed by periods of recovery. They’re based on research revealing one very unexpected fact about exercise: exercise intensity is more important than exercise duration. The 40 Second Workout, for example, looks like: 3 minute warmup, 20 seconds at a max sprint, 2 minute recovery period, 20 seconds at a max sprint, and ends with a 2 minute cooldown. You can do any exercise you’re comfortable with: walking, swimming, elliptical, treadmill, running, biking, spinning, weight lifting, jumping rope, running in-place, rowing, etc. As long as you can get your heart rate up, choose an exercise you enjoy doing. Personally, I use an elliptical machine at home, and it works great. High-intensity does not have to mean high-impact. That’s 7 minutes and 40 seconds to complete a workout. With a goal of 3 workouts a week, that’s only 23 minutes a week. Almost everyone can find 23 minutes to exercise in a week. The results have proved equal to or superior to an hour of moderate aerobic exercise: increased cardiorespiratory fitness, lower all cause mortality, weight loss, muscle gain, reduced blood pressure, improved metabolic health, better insulin sensitivity, a sense of achievement, increased enjoyment—all gained with the least amount of exercise possible.
