HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) has become very popular lately, and for good reason. The combination of high intensity intervals with low to moderate intensity active recovery periods is an effective way to lose weight and get into shape. It is an adaptable workout that you can fit to your abilities. However, many people do not know what HIIT is or of the many benefits it has.

The biggest issue is people not knowing what HIIT is. High intensity interval training is a wonderful workout that many people are not utilizing because they’re unaware of what it is and it’s benefits. Another issue is not knowing where to start or where these classes are held. One of the beautiful things about HIIT is you can do it anywhere at any time, in pretty much any way you would like.

There are so many amazing benefits to HIIT that even someone doing the workouts at the most basic level can tap in to. One beneficial part of high intensity interval training is that it improves cardiovascular fitness. It also allows you to exercise anywhere, anytime, so you aren’t confined to the limits of a gym. It also provides a higher calorie burn in a short period of time.

One of the greatest benefits of HIIT, in my opinion, is that it keeps your metabolism elevated after exercise. The amount you sweat during these intense workouts is probably a hint that they boost up your metabolism. But did you know you can actually be burning calories for several hours after you complete the exercise? Due to your body recovering from the high level of intensity, your body is working for long after you finish working out.
