Cardio + Strength Training- Increase the Burn

Treadmill and strength training classes, like Fly| A Fitness Revolution’s Flyhigh, are booming at boutique fitness studios on the coasts and across the country. In the past 2 years, there has been an over 60% increase in high intensity training classes that feature cardio bursts in their strength classes. Classes like Flyhigh that offer treadmills like the ones at Fly are expanding too.

Why? (duh, because it’s an AWESOME workout!) Not only that, but research shown that HIIT is a proven formula for burning more calories + building strength and stamina. Not only that, but you have ZERO downtime. You have less wasted time in your workout and, therefore you don’t need to spend as much time at the gym.

Dr. Jenni Brown, says that that’s why she created classes like Flyhigh “you can work harder and more intensely, but for shorter periods, but you can also get the cardio benefits while sculpting muscles. All in a shorter amount of time.”

An added bonus is that you can get a variety of workouts in one. The treadmill workouts can be hill workouts, sprints or a mix and match. The same goes for your strength sessions- leave it up to your trainer and you can have it all in one sweat session. The best HIIT sessions will alternate cardio and strength intervals, giving you the best benefits.
