HIIT Workouts: Get Fit Fast and Have Fun Doing It
Whether you’re a fitness enthusiasts or still aspiring to be one, do you ever feel like there just aren’t enough hours in the day to squeeze in a workout? Well, fret no more, because HIIT is here to save the day (and your time).
HIIT stands for High-Intensity Interval Training. Basically, it’s a workout style where you alternate between short bursts of intense exercise and periods of rest or lower-intensity activity. Think sprinting for 30 seconds, then walking briskly for a minute. Repeat that a few times, and you’ve got yourself a HIIT workout, like this easy at-home HIIT workout to shred 510 calories!
During those intense intervals, HIIT fires up your metabolism and your heart rate skyrockets, burning serious calories. But even during the rest periods, your body is still working hard to recover, which keeps the calorie burn going even after you’re done, like the workouts in the Afterburn Program on the 28 Day Challenge. It also helps you build both strength and endurance, making you a total fitness machine.
HIIT is fantastic for people who are short on time or just want a quick and effective workout. It’s also great as you can tailor it to your fitness level. Beginners can start with shorter bursts of intensity and longer rest periods. As you get fitter, you can crank up the intensity and shorten the rest. But if you’re a fitness buff looking for a challenge, HIIT can definitely crank things up a notch.
