High-intensity interval resistance training (HIRT) consists of performing exercise with weight that constitutes your 6 rep maximum (6RM).
.
Very short wait times are implemented between sets (20 seconds), and additional sets ensue with the same weight to failure (usually 2-3 reps).
.
Two and a half minutes of rest are usually taken between exercises.
.
One study in particular demonstrated that conducting HIRT for 32 minutes versus conventional resistance #training (4 sets of 8 #exercises at 8-12 #reps at 70-75% 1RM) lasting upwards of an hour resulted in expending about 360 more calories 22h-post training.
.
Moreover, the respiratory ratio, which measures substrate oxidation, showed a shift towards #fat utilization following HIRT.
.
Therefore, on the path to weight-loss, implement #HIRT #training alongside your regular #cardio routine and take advantage of spending less time in the #gym with a better payoff. Getting a little extra bang for your buck never HIRTs!
