How To Lose Weight With
High Intensity Interval Training
Hey Everyone,
This post is for anyone who wishes to lose weight, who is a beginner to the gym, who wants to build stamina for running, who is always short of time to work out and the unending list goes on! In short, it won’t be wrong if I say that most of us need to know ways to lose those unwanted kilos. Today let me talk about High-Intensity Interval Training aka HIIT.
Most of you are aware of cardio. You love it or not, cardio helps burn calories and helps to lose weight. For example – If you are running 2 km a day, you will burn calories and fat. After cardio, your metabolism remains high for next one or two hours. But cardio can be monotonous and time consuming too ! One day when you do cardio for 45 minutes, do you notice that you are not able to do the same the next day? That happens a lot of times. So, what is the solution ? The solution is High-Intensity Interval Training also known as (HIIT).
What is High Intensity Interval Training?
High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) is an advance and faster way to burn calories and fat. It increases metabolism, which remains high even after 24-48 hours of workout. Who does not want to burn calories even while sleeping ;)!
According to Wikipedia, HIIT is an enhanced form of interval training, an exercise strategy alternating periods of short intense anaerobic exercise with less-intense recovery periods. HIIT is a form of cardiovascular exercise. Usual HIIT sessions may vary from 4–30 minutes. These short, intense workouts provide improved athletic capacity and condition, improved glucose metabolism, and improved fat burning.
Lose Weight With High-Intensity Interval Training
Consistent and long cardio can hurt your knees but HIIT does not! HIIT takes you to an anaerobic state and you keep burning fat when you are not working out without spending more time and hurting your kees.
HIIT also improves immunity, helps to build stamina, and increase your energy levels too! so, are you ready to Lose Weight With High-Intensity Interval Training :)?
