Burn Holiday Fat Fast with HIIT & Gravity Training

It’s a new year, time to kick holiday indulgences to the curb and fire up your fat-burning furnace! Wondering how to ignite your metabolism and use fat as fuel efficiently? One powerful answer is HIIT, but here’s how to ramp it up with TSquared Personal Training’s Gravity Training for even better results.

What Is a HIIT Workout?

HIIT stands for High‑Intensity Interval Training, a dynamic approach where you alternate between max-effort bursts (80–95% of your max heart rate) and recovery periods (40–50% HRmax). Sessions typically range from 20 to 60 minutes.

  • High intensity: Go all-out for 20–45 seconds.
  • Low intensity: Recover actively for 1–2 minutes.
  • Repeat until exhaustion—but always listen to your body.

💡There’s no magic ratio: you might do 3 minutes hard, 3 minutes easy, or tweak it to your fitness level.

Why HIIT Sends Fat Burning into Overdrive

Muscle, Metabolism & Deficit = Fat Loss

You already know better muscle mass + caloric deficit = more fat burned. But when you add strength-based HIIT into the mix, you amplify fat oxidation because:

  • You burn more calories during the session.
  • You continue burning post‑workout via EPOC (excess post-exercise oxygen consumption), up to 6–15% more calories over the next 2 hours.

The result? A serious metabolic boost. In fact, research shows HIIT often burns comparable or more fat than steady-state cardio, even in shorter sessions Why Gravity Training is the Best HIIT Classes Vancouver?

Longevity Beyond the Sweat

The benefits ripple far past fat loss. Regular HIIT can:

Basically: improve your health, and your fat-burning will follow.

HIIT + Gravity Training = Fat Loss on Steroids

Here at TSquared, we’ve taken HIIT to the next level with gravity-based interval training.

What Is Gravity Training?

Gravity Training (using the Total Gym Gravity Training System) is a low-impact, full-body resistance workout that uses your own bodyweight on an adjustable incline. It's joint-friendly and scalable, from beginners to elite athletes

Why It’s the Best HIIT Option in Vancouver

Gravity Training isn’t just resistance or cardio, it’s HIIT on acid. Here's how it stands out:

  1. Full‑body, multi-plane workouts: Engage core, arms, legs, every move hits multiple muscle groups
  2. Short, intense sessions, big results: In two weeks, you’ll notice lean muscle, tighter posture, and better performance
  3. Low‑impact, high‑efficiency: No heavy weights or pounding, perfect for all fitness levels

Small groups (max 5 per session) ensure form-focused instruction, minimizing injury risk and maximizing gains

How to Safely Start HIIT at TSquared

HIIT is powerful—but ease in, or you’ll risk burnout or injury.

  1. Build your base: Start with general conditioning for 2–4 weeks. Learn movements, build stability tsquaredvancouverpersonaltraining.com.
  2. Warm-up & cool-down: Never mess with dynamic stretch and heart-rate prime before the storm, and bring it down correctly after.
  3. Scale intensity/week: Increase effort gradually, add duration, reps, or incline. Don’t adjust everything at once .
  4. Local recovery is critical: After HIIT, add 15–20 minutes of light cardio to extend fat burn.
  5. Plan rest days: Pull back if you’re dragging, listen to your body to stay injury-free

Pair It with Proper Nutrition & Routine

HIIT isn’t a substitute for steady health habits, it multiplies them. To maximize fat loss:

  • Eat balanced, protein-rich meals
  • Stay hydrated
  • Sleep well
  • Exercise regularly, and surprise your body with HIIT

That all-around approach is your fat loss rocket.
