What is HIIT Exercise?

High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) involves short bursts of maximum effort followed by a short rest. HIIT workouts can be done either with simple weights and dumbbells to strengthen your muscles or it can also be done as a cardio workout. Either way you don’t need to dedicate hours of time towards exercise. A HIIT workout can be very effective with as little as 20 minutes to dedicate to it.

How Does HIIT Exercises Help Me?

While regular exercise is good for you in many ways, HIIT workouts have many unique and wonderful benefits that include the following:

• Helps to decreases stubborn belly fat

• Strengthens your heart health

• Improves your balance and mobility

• Builds a fiery metabolism that burns fat even after your workout is over

How Does HIIT Exercise Work?

The constantly varied movements you do in a HIIT workout keep your body changing and burning more calories than regular exercises. Your body is more fully engaged due to the difference movements and the weight loss process is enhanced. Resistance training, which can be done with weights, stretching bands or your own body weight alone, allows for your body to build muscle and improve bone density while burning fat. Fat stores are the primary source of energy for muscles.

What’s an Example of a HIIT Exercise?
