(Health-NewsWire.Net, June 23, 2015 ) Arlington, VA -- Gordon Smith (aka "G-Strong"), founder of Hero Fuel, has released a new supplement, Hero Fuel Creatine Monohydrate, to aid athletes and fitness enthusiasts who engage in intense aerobic activity, such as HIIT (high intensity interval training) and HIT (high intensity weight training). Creatine supplementation has been long studied as a safe and effective method of increasing creatine accumulation in the muscles, which provides energy for such intense activities. High intensity training can shorten the workout, while maximizing the results, allowing more calories to be burned at rest and possibly improving metabolism.
A basic HIIT session may involve 5 short bouts at 1:2 work/rest (e.g., 10-second sprint, 20-second walk/rest). While the first bout could deplete any naturally available creatine in the muscles, if the muscles are infused with enough supplemental creatine, as found in Hero Fuel Creatine Monohydrate, men and women may see their performance progress to the ideal 1:1 (e.g., 10 seconds work, 10 seconds rest) ratio after the 6-week creatine loading phase is completed. As the body adapts, the intervals can be added and rest periods lessened. Short bursts of increased physical activity of this fashion can be a key factor in conditioning the body and in effective weight loss programs.
While engaging in intense intervals may be more effective than slow, moderate exercise, it is important to have sufficient creatine in the muscles to facilitate each successive bout and in order to see the desired training adaptations. It is during the first 20 seconds of a HIIT a routine that normal creatine levels are exhausted. Supplementing with creatine can be a quick fix for keeping protein levels high for speed workouts to ultimately lead to better body composition.
"After experimenting with HIIT for several years and not being able to get past the starting phase, it was clear that something was missing. The research on creatine loading was convincing and merited a try. Now, jumping on and off the treadmill at top speed for 7 bouts or more is a lot less daunting, and easily fits into my day," says Gordon Smith, President and Managing Director, quoting from a recent testimonial found in this article, Boost HIIT Bouts with Creatine.
High intensity interval and weight training activities can be effective in getting the body physically fit and in improving muscle metabolism. High quality creatine, as found in Hero Fuel Creatine Monohydrate, has been clinically studied as an aid to replenishing the muscles with creatine, an energy source for fueling intense workouts, which can facilitate more frequent activity. Increasing physical activity is a recognized step for reducing weight. The combination of creatine supplementation and intense training may improve overall fitness levels and lower risk factors for obesity and related conditions.
