What are the benefits of HIIT workouts?
High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) has gained popularity in recent years for its many benefits. HIIT involves alternating between short bursts of intense exercise and periods of lower-intensity or rest.
The key benefits of HIIT include:
- Time efficiency and convenience - HIIT is loved for its speedy nature. You can get a great workout done in just 15 minutes, even if you have limited access to equipment.
- Increased calorie burn and fat loss - HIIT increases calorie burn during and after exercise, making it easier for you to lose fat if this is your goal.
- Improved cardiovascular health - HIIT works your cardiovascular and respiratory systems and may help reduce the risk of associated diseases.
- Improved metabolism - HIIT can increase resting metabolic rate as it enables you to burn more calories when at rest.
