What is High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT)?

HIIT is a game-changer in the fitness world, perfect for those of us with jam-packed schedules.

HIIT exploded onto the scene in the early 20th century, primarily through athletic training. Coaches and trainers initially developed HIIT protocols to enhance the performance of athletes in various sports, aiming to improve both their cardiovascular endurance and overall fitness levels. Over time, HIIT evolved from being solely an athletic training method to a widely popular fitness approach embraced by individuals seeking efficient and effective workouts.

While its roots lie in sports conditioning, HIIT has transcended its origins to become a versatile and accessible fitness regimen for people of all backgrounds and fitness goals.

So why should you give HIIT a shot?

Well, for starters, it's super time-efficient. You can get a killer workout in anywhere from 20 to 45 minutes and benefits are vast.

Studies show that HIIT keeps your metabolism revved up, burning calories even after you've finished sweating. And here's the best part: HIIT workouts are incredibly adaptable. Whether you prefer running sprints, doing bodyweight exercises, or mixing it up with equipment like kettlebells, there's a HIIT routine that's perfect for you.
