high-intensity interval training

High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is a workout method that alternates short bursts of intense exercise with periods of lower-intensity activity or rest. This approach maximizes calorie burn and cardiovascular fitness in a shorter amount of time compared to traditional steady-state exercise. For example, sprinting for 30 seconds followed by a minute of walking, repeated multiple times, is a typical HIIT session. It challenges your body to exert maximum effort briefly, then recover briefly, improving endurance, strength, and metabolism efficiently. HIIT can be tailored to various fitness levels and activities, making it a flexible and effective training option.
