Workout Type: High Intensity Training (HIIT)
High-intensity interval training, better known as HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training), has become one of the most popular training methods due to its effectiveness in burning fat, improving cardiovascular endurance and saving time.
What is HIIT?
HIIT involves alternating short bursts of high-intensity exercise with periods of active recovery or rest. Workouts can last between 10 and 30 minutes, depending on the workout structure and the participant's fitness level. The goal is to keep the heart rate elevated during the intervals of exertion, maximizing metabolic benefits.
Benefits of HIIT
- Effective fat burning – HIIT speeds up your metabolism and continues to burn calories even after your workout, due to the EPOC (excess post-exercise oxygen consumption) effect.
- Improved cardiovascular endurance – The intensity of exercise improves cardiorespiratory fitness, making the heart and lungs more efficient.
- Muscle Gain – Although it's not a traditional strength training program, HIIT can stimulate muscle growth, especially when it involves resistance training.
- Time-saving – Short, effective sessions make HIIT ideal for those with busy schedules.
- Versatility – Can be performed with or without equipment and adapted to different levels of physical fitness.
