HIIT aka (high-intensity interval training)

HIIT aka (high-intensity interval training) is a method of training in which you give all-out effort in quick, intense bursts of exercise, followed by short, sometimes active, recovery periods. Training in this way increases your heart rate for the duration of the activity and in theory burns more fat in less time. “A high-intensity workout increases the body’s need for oxygen during the effort and creates an oxygen shortage, causing your body to ask for more oxygen during recovery,” claims Eric Salvador, NASM, NSCA, head instructor at The Fhitting Room in New York City. “This afterburn effect is referred to as Excess Post-Exercise Oxygen Consumption (EPOC) and is the reason why intense exercise will help burn more fat and calories than regular aerobic and steady-state workouts."
