How often should I do HIIT workouts?

Start with 2-3 sessions per week, allowing at least one day of rest between sessions. As you adapt, you can increase to 3-4 sessions per week.

What's a good HIIT workout structure?

Begin with a 5-minute warm-up, followed by 30 seconds of high-intensity exercise and 1-2 minutes of recovery. Repeat 6-8 times, then cool down for 5 minutes.

How do I know if I'm working at the right intensity?

During high-intensity intervals, you should be working at 80-90% of your maximum heart rate, feeling breathless but still able to maintain form. Recovery periods should allow your heart rate to decrease significantly.

High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) involves alternating between short bursts of intense exercise and periods of recovery or lower-intensity activity. This efficient workout method can improve cardiovascular fitness, boost metabolism, and burn calories in a shorter time than traditional steady-state cardio. HIIT workouts typically last 20-30 minutes and can be adapted to various fitness levels and equipment availability. The practice has been shown to improve insulin sensitivity, increase fat burning, and enhance overall fitness. Proper form and gradual progression are essential to prevent injury and maximize benefits.
