In case you are wondering what HIIT means, I’ll tell you: it stands for High Intensity Interval Training, which should only be used in you want to lose weight quickly and efficiently. Yes, I know that everybody wants that all the time, but it should only be used if you have a lot of extra weight to get rid of.
HIIT can be mixed with whatever exercise you enjoy doing and to which you want to add this new twist. Let me show you how it’s done by giving you an example. Instead of running at constant speed for 30 minutes, as you usually do, you can make things interesting by alternating high speed running with low intensity jogging.
The key is to use HIIT for only a short period of time, in order to prevent fatigue from setting in. For example, you can go flat out for 15 seconds and normally for 45 seconds and doing so for the duration of the exercise. Eventually, you will be able to work yourself up to 30-30 second intervals.
According to certain studies, HIIT will make your burn fat more quickly and efficiently than aerobics. You will be able to lose the same weight in 20 minutes with HIIT as you did in 30 minutes with normal aerobics exercises, it’s that good! Of course, it’s not as easy as other exercises, like cycling for example, but it will get you to where you’re going much faster!
