HIIT - High Intensity Interval Training Explained is a nonfiction health and fitness book written by James Driver. The term “High Intensity Interval Training” often conjures up nightmarish images of infinite series of burpees in many imaginations. Driver, who has a Masters Degree in Sports Science and is a longtime professional personal trainer, quickly dispels that misconception as he introduces what HIIT really is all about to his readers. Yes, burpees are indeed one of the suggested exercises that can be used in a HIIT session, but so can walking, running, hill climbing, weight training or any of the many different exercises Driver discusses in this informative book. He also explains in some depth how HIIT can cut down the amount of time that’s needed for a complete workout as compared to conventional training, and how HIIT can be used by anyone regardless of age and fitness level. He cites studies showing the effectiveness of HIIT including for group studies of cardiac patients, and he provides an extensive list of references.
HIIT - High Intensity Interval Training Explained does exactly what it purports to do. I’ve read many books on exercise and fitness programs and felt sufficiently impressed and motivated by this book to begin integrating HIIT into my daily exercise routine. I had previously associated HIIT with burpees and the types of vigorous exercise most people are not interested or fit enough to engage in, and I was pleased to discover that I was way off base. Driver knows his stuff, and his enthusiasm for HIIT is infectious. He gives readers of all fitness levels sound reasons to incorporate HIIT in their routines, plus he shows them how to monitor their stats and keep records of their progress. This is a well-written book that will appeal to seasoned fitness fans as well as newcomers, as Driver keeps his information accessible while providing links for those who want to continue learning. HIIT - High Intensity Interval Training Explained is most highly recommended.
