Dr. Jow promotes exercise as medicine for life. However, she understands the seemingly impossible task of committing to exercise when our days are packed with work, home, and community obligations. What’s the answer?
Interval training is a fantastic way to get a workout in a short amount of time. Interval workouts can be anywhere from 5 to 20 minutes and offer the modern employee a way to get in shape and maintain their physical health even with a busy lifestyle. These workouts generally include short bursts of varied movement for specific time intervals or number of repetitions. The movements can be high-intensity or can be more strength and stability based. The format can be doing a single move repetitively or sequentially in a circuit.
Incorporating an Interval Training routine into your lifestyle can:
- Save Time.
- Improve muscle strength and joint mobility
- Reduce blood pressure and blood sugar
- Decrease stress
- Increase productivity after the workout is complete
- Workout anywhere
- No equipment required
- Customize the workout based on your fitness level and time constraints
Avid’s signature Circuit Burner class is an interval class that incorporates a mix of cardio, strength, and mobility intervals for a total body workout. We also believe working out should be fun and safe.
Incorporating Interval Training as a team-building and self-care activity at work offers employees a health and wellness strategy that works with their busy schedules. Avid’s Employee Wellness Solutions, created by Dr. Veronica Jow, includes fitness sessions, such as cardio dance, circuit training, boxing, barre, and HIIT that can be tailored to any time period. A burst of activity in the workday can prevent ergonomic injuries while boosting energy, productivity, and morale for your team!
