HIIT, or High Intensity Interval Training, is an exercise technique in which high intensity exercises are alternated with lower intensity exercises, or recovery periods.
Benefits
- Increased metabolism – you are not only burning a ton of calories DURING your workout, the afterburn of this workout means that your metabolism will be boosted and burning more fat for 48 hours AFTER a complete HIIT workout!
- Efficient – these programs can be completed in 30 minutes or less.
- Convenient – HIIT can be done ANYWHERE, including the comfort of your own home!
- Builds muscle – a well-balanced HIIT routine targets all the major muscle groups, and therefore results in increased muscle volume and definition.
- Supports and strengthens the circulatory and cardiovascular system – going in and out of anaerobic state helps improve resting blood pressure, lowers resting heart rate, improves overall heart health, and reduces your risk of heart disease.
- Helps manage blood sugar – HIIT increases glucose metabolism in muscles as well as insulin sensitivity in type 2 diabetes.
- Little or no equipment is required – while you can use equipment for HIIT sessions, many exercises can be performed using your own body weight.
