Story

The PHIIT System is designed to make you an efficient Fat Burning Machine. The body uses two energy expenditure systems to create fuel from stored fat in order to complete all bodily activities or movements.

The Aerobic System: Activates after 3-5 minutes of constant movement or activity.

The Anaerobic System: Activates immediately for as long as 3 minutes and is only used for short, explosive movements or activities.

Here is how these concepts are strategically applied in the PHIIT system…

Our workouts switch from an aerobic cardiovascular exercise to an anaerobic resistance exercise every 3 minutes with 1 minute for transition; keeping the body from choosing the energy expenditure system it’s going to use. This confusion forces the body to burn more calories, a process explained by a science known as the “ZIG-ZAG” theory. PHIIT workouts are structured around this "ZIG-ZAG" principal. The activity of switching back and forth from an aerobic cardiovascular system to an anaerobic system is what increases the fat expenditure of the body by more than 500% and continues to burn calories well after the actual exercise is completed.

You simply burn more calories in a PHIIT workout than any other program available today.
