HIIT IT!
Are you looking for the right exercise routine for these sedentary times? Try a HIIT workout? With HIIT workouts, you get your heart pumping and your body moving in less than half the time of a traditional cardio workout with just as much benefit.
What is a HIIT Workout?
HIIT stands for High-Intensity Interval Training. HIITs are comprised of interval workouts done in short bursts with little to no downtime. These 20-30 minute workouts are designed to get your heart rate up and burn more fat in less time. HITT exercises include push-ups, situps, jump squats, and burpees, just to name a few.
The Benefits of HIIT Workouts
HIIT workouts result in excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC), which speeds up your metabolic rate (increases metabolism). HIIT workouts also require no equipment. These workouts use your body weight to get your heart rate up and yield the fitness results you aim for through full-body exercise. Another reason why HIIT workouts are so popular is that you can do them just about anywhere; from your living room to your neighborhood park!
