It’s high intensity because it’s pushing your threshold and putting you at 80 percent of your max heart rate.  I encourage everyone to create a high intensity workout for themselves.  Obviously, it will never be like this video.  However, it’s high intensity because it pushes you to work above your usual workout level for quick burst and a small time period. 

Hire a qualified professional trainer to create a high intensity training regime for you.  It should take into consideration your age, medical history, fitness level, motivation and goals.  These workouts are  at your own risk.  These workouts shouldn’t be performed daily unless your a serious athlete.   They can cause injury.  Also, make sure you have a progressive program.  Add intensity to your workouts slowly over 1-2 months.

High intensity workouts are fun, exciting and will help you burn calories like a furnace.
