Your H.I.I.T. Crash Course
What is H.I.I.T training?
H.I.I.T. (a.k.a. High-Intensity Interval Training) involves short interval of high intensity training followed up by a low intensity recovery period.

A study comparing 30 minutes of HIIT, weight training, running and biking found that HIIT burned 25-30% more calories than other forms of exercise.

HIIT raises the metabolic rate higher for hours after exercise. As long as you kicked ass during your workout, you’ll burn fat later – even if you’re just watching TV.
Exercise would be more fun if calories screamed as you burned them.
