HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training) is a form of interval training that alternates short periods of intense exercise with short periods of recovery or less intense periods. This workout is designed to raise and lower your heart rate quickly, resulting in an efficient and effective workout.
The benefits of HIIT training
- Efficiency (for busy people):
- HIIT workouts tend to be shorter than conventional fitness workouts, often 30-40 minutes. This makes it ideal for people with busy schedules who still want to get an effective workout.
- Improved fat burning:
- Due to the high intensity of the intervals and the constant alternation of exercise and rest, HIIT can increase fat burning both during and after exercise, also known as the 'afterburn' effect of excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC).
- Improved Cardiovascular Health:
- HIIT can improve your cardiovascular health by regularly increasing and decreasing your heart rate. This helps strengthen your heart muscle and can significantly improve your cardiovascular fitness.
- Muscle building and strength:
