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.
