The result is breathtaking and spectacular tricks that put aesthetics and body control above efficiency.

When it comes to training methods in fitness, you hear more and more often about the so-called HIIT training. But few people know what's really behind it. That's why we visited Nico from Fitness Outdoor in Cologne. Nico is a sports & gymnastics instructor, back school teacher, fitness & personal trainer and has a rehab license. In Cologne he offers bootcamp courses in which HIIT training is a crucial part. He has already conducted 1700 courses and helped many people to a better figure and a new attitude towards life. How exactly HIIT works and what is behind this training method, you will learn in the interview. Have fun!
