Lost weight and gained muscle fast
I’m a HIIT convert, and this book is like a toolbox to the program. It gives you everything you need to know to get in shape and stay in shape. I also like that in addition to exercises, it explains why HIIT works, what goes on inside your body when you follow the author’s plan. The writing is easy to follow and the author really knows his stuff. This was a good find.

Didn't have ready to go workouts
I returned this book as it didn't have pre-written work-outs in it. I think it provided time intervals and then you decide on the exercises to put into those intervals. I didn't read the book so it would be in new condition when I returned it.

A must-read for anyone looking to kick start a sustainable health and fitness routine
In "HIIT Your Limit", the author begins by explaining the importance of exercise: “… the pursuit of optimal fitness triggers the development of cardiorespiratory endurance, muscular strength, flexibility, healthy eating patterns, and positive behaviors that spur you to function and perform at your best.” And, good news for everyone, it’s never too late to start: “At any point in your life, you can make lifestyle decisions that noticeably impact your well-being. You are the one who can take the first step to improve your health and promote your wellness through exercise.” The American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) recommends that adults get 150 minutes of moderate exercise per week, which can be accumulated over multiple shorter sessions of at least 10 minutes. That is where the high-intensity interval training (HIIT) programs presented in this book come in. The author’s mantra of “Inch by inch, it’s a cinch” summarises his philosophy. This “small steps” approach leads to “gratifying, successful outcomes that you can sustain”, something that’s important in any exercise program.This book is well-organized, informative, and easy to read and includes lists, photographs, and tables. Section 1 covers the health benefits of exercise and an introduction to HIIT training. The author explains the physiological aspects of exercise and weight loss in a clear and accessible manner. Section 2 provides weight loss strategies. The author presents different weight loss methods and emphasizes that different methods will suit different people. Section 3 presents HIIT workouts for all fitness levels that can be adjusted from 10 minutes to 20 minutes so that they can fit into anyone’s lifestyle. Section 4 lists 100 ways to cut calories in your daily life. Throughout, the author provides supporting evidence from scientific, medical, and fitness journals, all of which are fully referenced at the back of the book.A must-read for anyone looking to kick start a sustainable health and fitness routine.I received this book in return for an honest review.

Book for Beginners.
No new info. Expected more physiology info e.g. nautural release of HGH. Repetitive info How many different combinations of HIIT can you have, it's a template. Dissapointed. Waste of $.
