In order to GET FIT and STAY FIT you need incorporate the principles of FREQUENCY, INTENSITY & TIME to your weekly workout regiment.
Rather than workout at a single intensity, you will be applying the FIT principle of short bursts of high intensity movements followed by lower intensity movements. Some may know this type of training as interval training. It has been used by athletes of all levels and has been shown to boost fitness and be more effective than simply exercising at the same intensity.
