• High Intensity Interval Training

   High intensity workouts are the very latest CrossFit trend in fitness. As the name suggests, High intensity interval training means working out at a very fast pace for a period of time and then taking a rest and then again working out at a fast pace and taking rest, means working out at intervals. Its really good for your health to work at a variety of intensity level and give your body time and experience to adapt to different training programs. Too much high intensity workouts can lead to cramps or burnouts. If you are a beginner, I would recommend to start with interval training or interval workout.

So many brands all around the world have already started the process of offering digital and in-person services. As consumers are now loving the benefits of working out digitally, a digital online fitness solution will become the norm.
