Exercise (Part 3): HIIT it Hard!

High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) is an excellent way to burn calories and boost your metabolism in a short amount of time. Incorporate short bursts of intense exercises followed by brief recovery periods. The intense bursts of activity elevate your heart rate, leading to a significant calorie burn during the workout and even after it’s completed. A typical HIIT workout can be completed in as little as 20-30 minutes, making it a great option for individuals with busy schedules. HIIT is particularly effective for fat loss while preserving lean muscle mass. Unlike traditional steady-state cardio exercises, HIIT stimulates the production of growth hormone, which aids in fat metabolism while protecting muscle tissue. HIIT workouts are also versatile, and can be adapted to suit various fitness levels and preferences.
