How Do HIIT Workouts Work?

The world of diet and exercise is constantly changing and it can feel almost

impossible to keep up with the latest trends. One of the workout trends on the rise

that experts think will be here to stay are HIIT workouts. These workouts are

something that almost anyone can do and see great results, but how do they work?

What is HIIT?

HIIT stands for High-Intensity Interval Training. HIIT workouts are designed to

get your heart rate up and keep it there for the majority of the workout while

making the actual workout time shorter than traditional training would be. HIIT

workouts target your entire body, rather than just one area or muscle group.

HIIT workouts allow you to burn more fat in a shorter period of time than other

workouts. These workouts are unique because of how they target your heart rate

and fat burning in your body. You’ll continue to have an increased metabolism for

up to 48 hours after finishing the workout! That means that if you do HIIT

workouts on a regular basis, your overall metabolism will be improved. After

you’ve finished a HIIT workout, you’ll have an active recovery period that lets you

cool down without losing that great boost in metabolism.

In addition to boosting your metabolism, HIIT workouts have gained popularity

because of their convenience and accessibility. HIIT workouts require no

equipment and little time to complete. That means you can fit a great workout into

your daily routine without spending an hour or more at the gym. You can do the

workout anywhere, so you’re able to maintain your routine even if you’re away

from home or live in a small space without access to gym equipment.

To get the best results from your HIIT workout you should work with a personal

trainer who can tailor the exercises to your fitness goals and current fitness level.

Trying a generic HIIT workout you find online may be discouraging if you’re

unable to complete it due to medical conditions or your current activity level, but a

personal trainer can ensure that won’t happen. Working with a certified personal

trainer will also offer some insight about how you can improve your diet before

and after working out to optimize fat burn and energy.
