High-intensity resistance training (HIRT) is a modification to the traditional form of strength training that helps boost endurance by subjecting a gym goer to a series of strength exercises without breaks per session. Strength training, which involves lifting or pulling against a resistance (something that has weight), felicitously revitalizes the muscles and also helps improve strength. Traditional strength training focuses on a single exercise, which is repeated multiple times in a session. While HIRT also includes reps, the reps are often shorter. It is the combination of reps from various exercises in a single workout session that makes the exercises equally high-energy. A typical HIRT workout session may combine five different strength training regimens in a series.
HIRT offers a diverse spectrum of benefits. It boosts resting energy consumption. Resting energy consumption is the rate at which the body breaks down calories when a person is resting. According to Sweat.com, HIRT results in higher resting energy consumption than traditional resistance training. The benefits of this include weight loss and a higher lean muscle to fat ratio. Depending on the schedule of the exerciser, HIRT could also be a highly effective short-duration workout. Combining six strength exercises with eight to ten reps each per session is sufficient. This can be accomplished twice or more depending on how much time an exerciser can dedicate to the activity and their adaptive strength.
