Interactive Cardio Tech That Pushes You Harder

The difficulty with cardio training – high intensity or slow and steady – is the right effort. Every man should do HIIT training, especially because most of us have so little time during the day to make room for exercise. The problem, however, is that we tend not to HIIT hard enough. Reaching between 80 and 100 percent of your maximum heart rate is uncomfortable, and the body prefers to avoid pain.

That's right; Your high-intensity workouts are not intense enough. And we tend to put too much pressure on slow and steady workouts. The new iFit ActivePulse solves that.

10 HIIT workouts for summer

Put on the heart rate wristband, step into an iFit-compatible interactive cardio machine (treadmill, rowing machine or bike) and choose an intensity. The machine automatically changes speed or resistance so you can work in the right zone, so no self-monitoring is required. Use it consistently and your fitness should improve – and the machine will push you even harder next time.

You can even choose a personal coach to help you with your efforts. A personal coach through iFit can also take you on a virtual fitness adventure where the equipment adapts to your virtual location. All of these elements together maximize your HIIT workout.
