Anyone who has ever done home training has probably heard of HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training). It is a type of exercise that involves doing very high-intensity exercise for a short period of time, followed by short rests or low-intensity exercise, alternating between repetitions. It can rapidly increase your heart rate and burn a lot of calories, making it particularly effective for increasing cardiopulmonary endurance and losing weight.

Because of these advantages, HIIT is also popular on the home training channel I run. Because it maintains high exercise intensity in a short period of time, it is very time-efficient, so it is great for office workers and students who have difficulty visiting the gym due to lack of time to increase their physical strength, and it also plays a big role in creating a healthy appearance.
However, there are times when this high-intensity strength training can be toxic to our bodies. This is especially true these days when tropical nights are rampant. When tropical nights continue, the increased temperature adversely affects our body’s ability to regulate body temperature, which causes our physical strength to be depleted more easily than usual and we go about our daily lives with a high level of fatigue. When high-intensity interval training is added to this situation, even healthy people who usually feel refreshed after exercising can easily become exhausted and feel more tired than before exercising. When the quality of sleep is poor due to tropical nights, high-intensity exercise causes the heart rate to rise excessively and adrenaline to be secreted excessively, making it difficult to fall asleep.
In such cases, what is needed is ‘low-intensity strength training’. If high-intensity interval training can be harmful to our bodies in situations where tropical nights continue, ‘low-intensity strength training’ rather plays a role in maintaining our body’s basal metabolic rate and improving our ability to regulate body temperature. It helps the body, which was not functioning properly due to high temperatures, to efficiently dissipate heat. In addition, since the endorphins secreted while exercising lightly relieve stress and bring mental stability, it also has the effect of improving the quality of sleep.
Today, I have prepared a 30-minute low-intensity strength training routine to help you overcome the tropical nights. It is based on standing in place and walking so that even beginners can easily follow along, but it is designed to keep the core tense and stimulate various muscles by moving the arms and legs in various ways. I hope that through the low-intensity strength training prepared today, you can effectively overcome the heat this summer and welcome the healthy fall of 2024.
