The Workout: 20-Minute HIIT

If you’ve never done a HIIT workout, then you may want to consider adding these high-energy workouts to your routine.

HIIT, or high intensity interval training, is a great way to tone the muscles and get a good cardio workout at the same time. Through 40-second blasts, you push your body to burn fat and strength. Other benefits include:

• Improves stamina
• Improves cardiovascular health
• Increases your metabolism, even staying elevated for hours post-workout
• Increases muscle tone
• Helps reduce blood pressure and blood sugar
• Increases brain-boosting protein cells

HIIT workouts are safe and effective, but don’t do them every day. Keep it at a maxmimum of three times per week for proper recovery.
