High Intensity Resistance Training – Dr. Rob America’s Fitness Doctor®

High Intensity Resistance Training (HIRT) is essentially resistance training for fat loss. HIRT training is an effective way to increase your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR), increase your Excess Post exercise Oxygen Consumption (EPOC), and burn calories at the same time.

When using HIRT you will execute several exercises together for a certain number of reps per set, for a certain number of minutes, without rest.

Along with HIIT, HIRT is a useful tool for fat loss, and it actually increases muscle mass more effectively than HIIT.

HIRT training will give you the following benefits:

 •         Increase metabolism for up to 36 hours post-workout

•          Outperform aerobic exercise in fat loss studies

•          Maintain muscle mass on a low calorie diet

•          Build muscle mass on a moderate to high calorie diet

•          Minimize fat gain on a high calorie diet

•          Burn more calories than endurance cardio

•          Increase muscle density

•          Improve anaerobic endurance

•          Improve aerobic endurance
