Book Description:

Get lean, build muscle, and stay healthy in only ten minutes a day! A Fitness Hall of Fame inductee and world-famous exercise scientist explains the #1 new fitness trend and how to get and keep the body you’ve always wanted.

High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is an extraordinarily effective form of training that mixes high- and low-impact activities during periods ranging from seconds to eight minutes. In HIIT Your Limit, Dr. Len Kravitz, who has been inducted into the National Fitness Hall of Fame and been an internationally-renowned exercise scientist for the past thirty-six years, and sold nearly 100,0000 copies of his last fitness book, explains what HIIT is, how it effects your entire body (externally and internally), gives 50 workouts and a guaranteed plan to whip you into shape fast, and presents a wealth of nutritional and other advice to further its impact.

HIIT was recently rated the #1 new fitness trend by the American College of Sports Medicine and is the key to staying fit for celebrities like David Beckham, Britney Spears, Hugh Jackman, and Scarlett Johansson. In addition to fat loss, it’s been proven to have major health benefits on blood pressure, diabetes, and cholesterol. Through this groundbreaking volume you’ll learn why, and see how to get fit quick, and have a fun and a truly sustainable exercise program, no expensive personal trainer required.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I was sent a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. I was not financially compensated in any way, and all opinions are 100 percent mine.

This is a fantastic reference book that I do not recommend you read from cover to cover in one sitting. In fact, that is not how it is intended. It is organized well and includes pictures, charts, and plenty of incredibly useful information. If you are looking for a handy guide to help you get in shape and/or stay in shape, this may be a book to consider purchasing.

I am one who lost fifty pounds (and kept it off) around ten years ago. Since that time, I have my ups and downs due to a wide variety of things. As a matter of fact, before I was sent this book, HIIT workouts have become my preferred method of working out. A couple years ago, my hormones began to wreak havoc on my body, and I gained weight and struggled to take it off. Through the use of HIIT workouts (many which are detailed and explained in this book), I have begun to lose weight again.

What sets this book apart from other weight loss/fitness books is this. This book focuses on total body health and lifestyle changes. It sets out very flexible goals, answers many commonly-asked questions, and really considers the entire experience of becoming healthy. While regimented diets are sometimes necessary, as most of us know, we eventually will rebel and possibly go back to our old habits if we’re not careful. This book makes the entire process simple, fun, and creative.

    I love HIIT and I think reading more about how to do it effectively would really help me! I too lost 50 pounds a few years ago – and have kept it off! It definitely took lifestyle changes – including eating better and exercising regularly.

    I am 57, overweight, and I have joint issues, many that have required surgeries to repair them. I am cleared for exercise, but obviously, I am not going to be at peak performance anytime soon as it will take time to reacclimate my body to strenuous exercise. I have weights, bands, kettlebells, at home. Is this something that I could do and do it at home, or does it require a gym? Does the book offer a gradual increase of the exercises? Are there alternative formats offered for persons with injuries or limitations? Thank you for any guidance you can give me.

      Deborah, this is totally something you can do at home. You do not need to be at a gym. I know the book is fairly comprehensive and should work for anyone at any fitness level. You may wish to check it out. I don’t recall specific instances where it talked about those with injuries, but that didn’t apply to me. However, it is not just exercise; it’s a way of living.

    This definitely sounds like a go-to book for fitness from someone that has had a considerable amount of experience in this field of study.
