Benefits of technology

[0023]The present invention selects fast twitch or type II fibers over slow twitch or type I muscle fibers. It does so by not just resistance training but also the rate by which the exercise repetitions are performed. Type II fibers are selected by increasing the frequency or speed of the weight of movement. Performing exercise in a more rapid fashion also requires a dramatic reduction in the amount of weight lifted to reduce the risk of injury. The resistance weight of the current invention is preferably approximately 30% of the maximum pressing weight for a particular muscle but can range from 10% to 80% of maximum pressing weight.
[0024]The present HIRT invention causes considerable muscle breakdown and protein depletion. As such, it is preferable to consume a protein carbohydrate drink after performing HIRT. This reduces the post-exercise muscle damage and soreness as well increases the post-exercise growth hormone response. To allow complete muscle recovery, a rest period of 24 to 48 hours is desirable.

Problems solved by technology

Too short of rest period will keep the exerciser in the anaerobic pathway.
Too long of exercise will move the energy transfer pathway into the aerobic system.

example 1

[0093]The following example is a general application of the HIRT exercise regimen to the upper body. A HIRT set may be performed on a weight machine shown in FIG. 2 and may include weight resistance exercises such as the bench press, pectoral fly, lateral pulldowns, tricep pressdowns, leg extensions, leg curls, abdominal crunches and tricep extensions on the high pulley station. On the low pulley station, HIRT exercises may be curls, seated row, shrugs, oblique bends, upright rows, bent over rows, adduction, abduction and front / side deltoid raises. The amount of weight an individual uses is approximately 30% of their established maximum weight training. If a person performing traditional weight resistance does a bench press at 100 pounds for 3 sets of 10, the HIRT program will typically start at a weight of 30 pounds. In a HIRT session, the exerciser will perform one full repetition every one and a half to two seconds for a total of 100-120 repetitions during a 3-minute exercise set...

example 2

[0099]The following example using the equipment shown in FIG. 4 is a more specific application of the HIRT exercise regimen and may incorporate the following full body-training regimen. Such a HIRT regimen may start with a standing chest press 30 with standing cables 32 where the boxer 28 takes a traditional boxing stance with a left foot 34 forward with the cable handle 36 in the right arm. This is a very good exercise for helping shape the chest by not only exercising the primary pectoralis muscles but also exercising additional muscles, such as the triceps brachii and deltoid muscles. It therefore enlists three major muscles in the upper muscle group. To begin the exercise, the exerciser stimulates a punching movement with a forward punch while stepping slightly forward and twisting the abdomen. In twisting the abdomen, the primary abdominal obliques muscles are used along with the deltoid muscles in the arms. Such punching movement is repeated about 100-120 times for three minut...

example 3

[0100]The following example is a further application of the HIRT exercise regimen to a new muscle group such as the lower body. A lower body HIRT session can be performed on a different day (e.g., the following day) from an upper body HIRT session. This HIRT session may start with the largest leg muscle group or the quadriceps. Squats or leg press 22 on the quadriceps can be done with a weighted bar or a Smith machine 16 shown in FIG. 3. In this case, the Smith machine 16 offers increased stability and safety for the rapid repetitions. Cables and machines are useful since they allow frequent reductions and changing of weights without interruptions. The barbell 18 squat or leg press 22 works on the primary quadriceps and secondary gluten muscles. Additionally, a cable hamstring curl is a good exercise to develop strength and balance on the hamstrings. Furthermore, a simple calf raise uses the gastrocenmius and soleus muscle of the lower legs. As the largest muscle, the quadriceps gen...

Abstract

High Intensity Repetitious Training (HIRT) is an exercise regimen consisting of approximately three minutes of intense exercise that puts an exerciser at the end of the anaerobic energy transfer system and prevents the exerciser from entering the aerobic energy transfer system. The HIRT Program exercise regimen subjects the muscles to high frequency intense muscle contractions for approximately three minutes to the point that the lactic system reaches a maximum followed by a period of rest for at least one to two minutes to restore creatinine and remove some of the lactate acid out of the blood stream. The HIRT exercise regimen enhances the benefits of lactate accumulation, post-exercise insulin and growth hormone release with lipolysis or fat reduction.

Description

FIELD OF INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to exercise systems and methods. More specifically, the present invention relates to an exercise method that produces high frequency intense muscle contractions for maximum weight loss while increasing muscle strength, muscle definition and endurance during a short period of time.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Conventional wisdom and literature describes two basic exercise regimens. These two exercise regimens are based on two major energy systems or pathways. Weight resistance exercise produces muscle strength and uses the anaerobic energy system. In contrast, lower intensity and higher duration exercise produces cardiovascular endurance and uses the aerobic energy system. In general, the literature states that these two systems are mutually exclusive of one another. Over the years, exercise regimens have been developed to elicit one or the other system, but rarely both.[0003]According to the published technical literature, sh...
