Guys, we often hear about HIIT, but what is it technically? This method, which stands for High-Intensity Interval Training, aims to achieve maximum performance in a short time. For example, interval workouts like 30 seconds of burpees followed by 15 seconds of rest are based on this system. Why is it so popular? Because it boosts metabolic effects and provides efficiency in a short time. Have you guys ever tried HIIT?

Well, I think HIIT should be compared to steady-paced running, like a 5 km distance. In steady running, you spend at least 40-50 minutes, whereas in HIIT, even if it's just 15-20 minutes, you burn almost the same amount of calories. More importantly, your metabolic rate stays elevated throughout the day. Plus, steady running keeps your heart rate constantly elevated, but with HIIT, that interval intensity helps improve both cardio and endurance at the same time. Not to mention, steady running wears out your joints, while HIIT has rest intervals so you can push harder. So, your body adapts faster and the risks are reduced.
