You will likely be told by a lot of people that HIIT (high-intensity interval training) is the best type of training for weight loss. While this may be true to some extent, it is not necessarily what is best for you.

Simple exercises such as walking, cycling, and swimming may be a better fit for you depending on your current fitness levels and what you actually enjoy doing. Weight loss tends to happen as a result of various types of training being used as part of an overall training plan.

Gaining muscle comes from placing your muscles under stress during your training so microscopic tears form. As these tears repair, your muscles become stronger (and sometimes bigger) than they were before.

This is predominantly done through resistance training although bodyweight exercises and even some cardiovascular exercises can all help you gain muscle. 

Fat loss and weight loss often get confused. You can lose weight without actually losing any fat and you can lose fat while still putting on weight. This is always worth keeping in mind when deciding on your fitness goals.

HIIT is highly regarded as a great way of training in order to burn fat. It’s also a great way of keeping your workouts varied, fast-paced, challenging, and fun.

There is no one-size-fits-all training program that works for everyone. This is why it can be so beneficial to work with our personal trainers in Ealing, as they can help you find the most effective training plan for you.

They will take into account things such as your goals, your fitness level, any health issues, and things you like and don’t like to come up with sessions that you enjoy and get the most benefit from.

Ultimately, whether you are looking to lose weight, burn fat, gain muscle, or have any other fitness goal, our personal trainers can help you achieve it.
