high intensity training
Demanding exercise regimen
High intensity training is a strength-training approach emphasizing brief, infrequent workouts performed to muscular failure.
Rather than multiple sets with moderate effort, practitioners do one set per exercise with maximum exertion: She does high intensity training twice a week.
The method prioritizes recovery time between sessions.
Often abbreviated HIT.
