Achieve Maximum Fitness Results with High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT)

High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT), also known as “Together With Your Workout,”

#fitness A scientifically proven approach to burn more calories and fat in less time. Unlike the traditional method where you train for hours to burn calories and lose weight, HIIT is a more efficient option. It is even possible to lose weight by exercising less frequently.

But how does HIIT work exactly?

The secret behind HIIT is the high intensity of the workout. Instead of a prolonged fat-burning workout where you perform lower-intensity exercises over long periods of time, HIIT focuses on short but very intense practice sessions. Imagine an intensity scale of 1 to 10, where 6 represents a moderate intensity where you can recite another poem while exercising. With HIIT, however, you're at an intensity level of 9, where you're fully focused on your exercise and can't help but focus on it.

An example of a HIIT training is Freeletics. With Freeletics, for example, you perform an exercise for 20 seconds, followed by 10 seconds of rest. Repeat this cycle for four minutes. Imagine sprinting at maximum speed for 20 seconds and then resting for 10 seconds. You repeat the sprint every time after each rest period for the full four minutes.

Another example of HIIT is interval training. Here, for example, you walk 400 meters as fast as possible and then walk 400 meters. Repeat this until you have covered a total of 3200 meters.

HIIT offers several benefits for getting into better shape, including faster weight loss, increased strength, improved cardiovascular fitness, faster fat burning, decreased belly fat, reduced insulin resistance, and a lower risk of cardiovascular disease.
