SIIT

This session demonstrates High Intensity Steady State (HISS) training using a continuous AMRAP format. Following a progressive treadmill warm-up, the primary block challenges the client to sustain high output for a fixed time domain with minimal rest.

The goal is to maintain a strong, steady effort above threshold while limiting transitions by using only dumbbells and kettlebells. This format supports continuous anaerobic demand without structured recovery intervals and is best suited for conditioned individuals ready for higher intensity exposure.

Warm-Up Blocks

Treadmill – HIIT
Horizontal Loading

We begin with a progressive incline treadmill warm-up to gradually elevate heart rate and prepare for high-intensity work. Intensity increases incrementally while remaining below threshold before transitioning into the first sprint interval.

HISS AMRAP – 10 Minutes
Circuit x 1

This block uses a 10-minute AMRAP format to sustain high-intensity effort without structured recovery. The goal is continuous work above threshold (RPE 8–9) with minimal transition time between exercises. Rest is self-regulated but limited to brief pauses as needed to maintain output.

Gradual reduction of intensity to facilitate heart rate recovery and transition into parasympathetic dominance.

Encourage slower breathing and reduced mechanical demand.
