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

1. 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!
2. Efficient – these programs can be completed in 30 minutes or less.
3. Convenient – HIIT can be done ANYWHERE, including the comfort of your own home!
4. Builds muscle – a well-balanced HIIT routine targets all the major muscle groups, and therefore results in increased muscle volume and definition.
5. 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.
6. Helps manage blood sugar – HIIT increases glucose metabolism in muscles as well as insulin sensitivity in type 2 diabetes.
7. Little or no equipment is required – while you can use equipment for HIIT sessions, many exercises can be performed using your own body weight.
