If you hit the gym often, there’s a buzzword that you can’t possibly miss, it’s called HIIT workouts, which stands for High Intensity Interval Training.
As its name suggests, HIIT is a form of cardio session in short bursts of intense workout. Cardio in general is great for weight loss and heart health because it accelerates the heart rate to strengthen your cardiovascular system.
What makes HIIT workouts particularly popular is that it is a magical fat burner—15 minutes of HIIT workout can burn more calories than 1 hour of jogging! By incorporating a greater workload and alternating between intensive activity and fixed rest periods, it accelerates calorie burning in the minimum amount of time. The workouts are also highly flexible, you can run, do jumping jacks, or burpees, anywhere you like, and no equipment is necessary. Better yet, these exercise routines can push your body to its optimal level, so that even after leaving the gym, your body is still burning fat.
