The advantages of HIIT (High Intensity Interval Trainings)

I have started doing CrossFit few years back. CrossFit is one of the most complete sport. But if I felt in love of this sport, it’s because I hate routine. CrossFit trainings change every day !

Many sessions in CrossFit are based on the HIIT method (High Intensity Interval Training).

HIIT, or High-Intensity Interval Training, is a type of exercise that involves short bursts of intense activity followed by periods of rest or low-intensity activity. Here are some of the advantages of HIIT:

1. Burns more calories: HIIT is a highly effective way to burn calories and lose weight. Because it involves short bursts of intense activity, it can increase your metabolism and burn more calories than traditional steady-state cardio exercises.
2. Improves cardiovascular health: HIIT can help improve your cardiovascular health by increasing the efficiency of your heart and the amount of blood it can pump with each beat. This can lead to a lower resting heart rate, lower blood pressure, and a reduced risk of heart disease.
3. Increases endurance: HIIT can help increase your endurance and stamina by pushing your body to its limits during the high-intensity periods. This can improve your ability to perform physical activities for longer periods of time.
4. Builds muscle: HIIT can help you build muscle by incorporating exercises that target different muscle groups. Additionally, because HIIT can be quite intense, it can stimulate the release of growth hormones that promote muscle growth.
5. Improves insulin sensitivity: HIIT can help increase insulin sensitivity, which is important for managing blood sugar levels. Studies have found that HIIT can improve insulin sensitivity more than traditional steady-state cardio, making it a great option for those with diabetes or pre-diabetes.
6. Time-efficient: HIIT workouts are typically shorter than traditional cardio workouts because they involve short bursts of intense activity followed by rest periods. This makes HIIT a great option for those with busy schedules who want to get a quick and effective workout in.

But … as you know this blog is not only about sport.

How can we apply the HIIT training in real life ?

Let’s take one example. Let’s admit that your main objective is to raise capital for the company you want to scale or create.

As we have seen in the article about entering the effort zones, now that we have established the objective (raise money), we need to define our current situation and the action plan (training plan).

The action plan, HIIT mode

The Pitch

First, we need to create the pitch, the presentation.

First time you are doing it ? Then, exactly as for the CrossFit, call a coach ! They are professionals, they do it every day and they are used to help people like you.

They know what the mistakes are and although you might see them as an expense, trust me, they will bring more value.

They should be seen as an investment with Hight ROI.

Identify potential investors

You have your pitch, it’s time to identify the potential investors.

Want to apply the HIIT training ? It consists in High Intensity Intervals. Do the same : every morning when your mind is still very fresh, grab a coffee and make sure to send at least 5 emails per day.

5 emails per day = 155 emails at the end of the month

5 emails pers day = 1825 emails at the end of the year

5 emails per day = 3650 emails after 2 years

I hope you will have closed your fund by then. But don’t stop sending emails. Send the emails to potential customers, media, candidates, … Keep the momentum and keep sending your 5 emails per day.

Network and make introductions

It’s known that you network is your net worth. You will need to get out of your comfort zone and meet new people. Participate to meetups, conferences, meetings around your topic.

Enter your effort zone, go to this person and say Hi !
