HIIT, or high-intensity interval training, is a training technique in which you give all-out, one hundred percent effort through quick, intense burst of exercise, followed by short, sometimes active, recovery periods. This type of training gets and keeps your heart rate up and burns more fat in less time. A high-intensity workout increases the body’s need for oxygen during the effort and creates an oxygen shortage, causing your body to ask for more oxygen during recovery. This afterburn effect is referred to as excess post-exercise oxygen consumption and is the reason why intense exercise will help burn more fat and calories than regular aerobic and steady-state workouts.

What do you need?
Just an open area or mat you can use. Optional dumbbells 5 to 10lbs if you like to increase the difficulty or resistance. Your pre-workout, intra-workout and post-workout nutrition intake. *Consult your coach on this.
