Hi, I’m Cameron
Certified Fitness Trainer and Personal Coach
I have been involved in sports and fitness for 25 years. Sport is a huge passion of mine, and I was fortunate to play rugby league at the highest level including Australian School Boys Rugby League and as a professional player thereafter. From there, my passion for fitness grew and I learnt from the best conditioning coaches in the NRL circle.
What is HIIT?
As you can tell from the name, high intensity interval training (HIIT) is challenging.
It takes your cardio workout to another level, as you push your pace out of your comfort zone.
You can use HIIT with any type of cardio workout, whether it's running, using a stair climbing machine, rowing, or jumping rope.
You’ll work up a sweat fast, working at a very intense level and then backing off for a slower recovery period, followed by another round of high intensity.
That strategy can save you time: You don't have to work out as long as you would if you were keeping a steady pace.
You’ll lose weight, build muscle, and boost your metabolism. Plus there’s a post-workout bonus: Your body will burn calories for around 2 hours after you exercise.
​
At HIIT 40 Mareeba, we conduct 40 minute workouts consisting of various exercises such as; body weight, cardio, anaerobic and aerobic and many others! No two workouts are the same!

Benefits of HIIT
(just four out of the hundreds that there are!)
Reap the Rewards
Because of its high intensity, HIIT can elevate your metabolism for several hours after exercise.
Essentially, the higher the intensity, the longer it takes your body to repair and return your metabolism to a normal, resting state. It’s during this recovery process that you continue to burn extra calories.
Improve your Mental Health
Science clearly shows moving can help stimulate your happy hormones, including serotonin, which is why you feel great after a good workout. And not many things trigger a flood of happiness faster than HIIT.
​
Research into intense exercise such as HIIT suggests it may be able to help ward off depression as well as supporting existing sufferers.
One study showed that vigorous exercise increases the levels of two common neurotransmitters called glutamate and GABA, which are in charge of chemical messaging in the brain. This is important as major depressive disorders are regularly linked with depleted levels of both of these neurotransmitters.
Build a Healthier Heart
Many studies are now showing that HIIT workouts promote greater improvements in VO2 max and general fitness abilities compared to steady-state exercises.
​
VO2 max is considered the best indicator of cardiovascular endurance. It’s used to demonstrate the effects of exercise on the body and how well the body uses oxygen for energy.
By pushing your heart rate high during periods of intense workout, you’ll be able to increase your cardiovascular ability and strengthen your heart. During the short rest intervals, you work on recovering more quickly and needing less time to rest, helping you to build stamina over time and perform physical exercise more efficiently.
Weight Loss
without Muscle Loss
When you're on a diet, it's hard not to lose muscle mass along with fat. While steady-state cardio seems to encourage muscle loss, studies show that both weight training and HIIT workouts allow dieters to preserve their hard-earned muscles while ensuring most of the weight lost comes from fat stores. Win/win!
​
HIIT circuits trigger muscle-building hormones while at the same time using up calories and burning fat. The body produces the growth hormone IGF-1 during HIIT, which supports the body in building lean mass muscle.
