Since most of us lead stressfullives with little downtime,

we don’t alwayscrave a full-onHIIT (high-intensity

interval training)workout.This is why LIIT (low-

intensity intervaltraining) workouts are a huge trend –

DavidLloyd Clubs, for one, has just added them to its

programme. Designedto help you slow down, classes

focus on controlled movementsand good form – think

slowed-downsquats ratherthan jumping jacks. And

they’renot the easy option;slower reps with heavier

weightsjust work your body in a different way. Perfect

if you’re recoveringfrom injury or want to build stamina.
