Befefits of High-Intensity Interval Training

High-intensity interval training (HIIT), also called high-intensity intermittent exercise or sprint interval training, is a type of interval training, a cardiovascular exercise strategy alternating short periods of intense anaerobic exercise with less-intense recovery periods, until too exhausted to continue.

HIIT can include many different movements like planks, squats, push-ups, and more. 

Here are some benefits we can get from HIIT:

HIIT may help you lose weight

Since HIIT burns more calories because of EPOC, it can be a more convenient way to help you lose weight, since you don't have to spend as much time working out. 

HIIT workouts lost 28.5% more fat than people who did moderately-intense continuous exercise, like running.

HIIT builds many muscle groups 

Most HIIT workouts involve many different movements. This allows you to work out different groups of muscle during the same workout — for example, a HIIT workout might have you do squats, push-ups, and burpees — which all target different muscles. 

HIIT improves oxygen and blood flow 

Your heart pumps blood through the circulatory system in order to deliver oxygen and nutrients to your muscles. And research has found lots of evidence that HIIT workouts can support and even strengthen your circulatory system. 

HIIT workouts allow you to reap many health benefits without needing to go to the gym or invest in equipment.
