Have a Quickie – Get Fit Fast!

ROCKFORD, Ill. - April 1, 2014 - PRLog -- Launched in May of 2013, This is Fit Workouts is eliminating the age-old excuse “I don’t have time to work out” by providing free, fifteen-minute workout videos, called “Quickies,” designed to be done by anyone, anywhere. Quickie Workouts employ high-intensity interval training (HiiT) to challenge every major muscle group of the body, including abs, and incorporate cardio too. HiiT training involves alternating periods of high-intensity exercise with periods of rest and recovery.

This is Fit Workouts HiiT Quickies are 3 rounds of 5 exercises, and each interval is 50 seconds of exercise alternated with 10 seconds of rest.

Research shows that workouts like Quickies can be even more effective than longer workouts.

“HiiT workouts trigger the afterburn effect,” says Laura Flynn Endres, This is Fit Workouts founder. “That means you’ve pushed your body to the point of having an oxygen debt, so your body is now forced to work harder to return to normal – which means you’ll continue burning calories even after you’ve stopped exercising.”

Every Monday at thisisfitworkouts.com, a new workout is released with two videos. The first video, called the Workout Preview, gives a detailed break-down of the five exercises, instruction on proper form, and modifications to make the exercises easier. The second video is the real-time workout, showing the full workout of five moves, one minute each, three times through. A timer is shown on the screen and beeps at the start and end of each interval, and Laura is doing the workout, reminding viewers of proper form and cheering them on - when she’s not completely out of breath, that is.

Popular with men and women, beginners through conditioned athletes, HiiT Quickie Workouts improve metabolism and cardiovascular health, provide a method for gaining muscle, strength, endurance, and flexibility while burning fat, and they allow people to get in shape without spending hours and hours exercising. “No more need to separate your weight training routines from your long cardio sessions,” says Endres. “You can get strength and cardio conditioning with these workouts – and in only 15 minutes.”

“Quickies are fast, effective, and never tiresome – like most workout videos,” says Lisa Creahan of Los Angeles, CA. “And just when you think you can't take it anymore (yes, it can be that hard) there is a sweet timer on the screen that lets you know you can conquer it if you just stick it out a few seconds more.”
