High Intensity Interval Training
It’s in our name, all over the news, and your favorite celebrities are doing it. So, what is it? High intensity interval training or “HIIT” is a workout practice in which the exerciser does short intense spurts of cardio, as opposed to the usual longer, less intense intervals of traditional exercise. Ever since HIIT came to be in the 90s, it has been the go-to workout method for the masses. From David Beckham to your kids’ extremely fit English teacher, high intensity interval training is the workout method of choice for the healthiest people you know.
