HIT stands for high-intensity training and this type of training is the most important thing you can do for your own health.
It's up to you how long you want to stay in the right zone at a time, but it's important that your heart gets a full blood supply along the way, which takes 1-2 minutes to achieve. This means that if you are in the right intensity zone for 2 minutes or more, you will start getting HIT points from the app.
You only need 32 HIT minutes a week
We've converted these minutes into points and every week you get a new opportunity to collect HIT points. HIT points play a significant role in improving your health, physique, and performance. Best of all, you only need 32 points to make the app happy. You can achieve this by doing two 4x4-intervals during a week, or by breathing heavily (85-95% of max heart rate) for 32 minutes during another type of exercise.
Exercise your heart
Focus on intensity in your workouts. Intensity trumps quantity, and it is high-intensity training that will make a difference for you. The duration you wish to maintain in the target zone is up to you, but it's important to ensure that the heart receives a thorough flow of blood in the process. This takes about 1-2 minutes to accomplish. If you're out of breath for 2 minutes or longer, you'll earn HIT points from the app.
The app calculates HIT Points
To assign you HIT points, the app needs to know your capacity. You can either follow our standard 4x4 protocol on the app or connect the app to a pulse watch or belt of your preference. Carry out a biological age evaluation with the app and see how you can collect points the next time you run after the bus, deliver the 3-year-old to kindergarten or go on a regular chat with a good friend. Most of us will be breathless by walking uphill.
Accumulating enough HIT points during a week can be highly motivating as you witness progress in your training. You can now see a new weekly overview on the home screen where you can collect HIT points. This is training that works!.
