Uplift
The Uplift workouts are High Intensity Interval Training. These workout sessions involve no equipment and are fast and effective training just using your body weight. However, there are options to use some weight if you want an extra challenge. The entire Uplift sessions are between 5 – 20 minutes, so it is an excellent way to maximise a workout that is limited on time.
What is Uplift?
What It Is and How It Works
- Uplift is a form of interval training that involves short intervals of maximum intensity exercise separated by longer intervals of low to moderate intensity exercise.
- Uplift increases the amount of calories you burn during your exercise session and afterward because it increases the length of time it takes your body to recover from each exercise session.
- Uplift causes metabolic adaptations that enable you to use more fat as fuel under a variety of conditions. This will improve your athletic endurance as well as your fat-burning potential.
- To get the benefits of Uplift, you need to push yourself past the upper end of your aerobic zone and allow your body to replenish your anaerobic energy system during the recovery intervals.
- The key element of Uplift is that the high intensity intervals involve maximum effort.
- After you exercise using Uplift, your body goes into a state of increased metabolic output. Simply put, this means that your body will continue to burn extra calories long after you complete your workout. This is known as EPOC (excess post-exercise oxygen consumption) or the ‘afterburn’ effect.
In contrast, if you had a long session of steady cardio, your calorie burning would stop quickly after you finished.
Embrace Uplift and watch how quickly your body begins to transform.
