The benefits of HIIT you NEED to know

If you are keen to optimise your health through exercise, then HIIT is one of your BEST fitness strategies.  HIIT is not only about burning fat while you train; it has many more amazing benefits! Including:
1️⃣ Fat burning – HIIT helps your body burn fat, both during and AFTER the workout. Studies show that it’s more effective than traditional cardio for fat loss.
2️⃣ Boosts metabolism – After a HIIT workout, your body works harder to return to a resting state, keeping your metabolism elevated for hours (EPOC effect).
3️⃣ Improves endurance – As you continue with HIIT, your cardiovascular fitness improves, and your body gets better at recovering between intervals.
4️⃣ Time-efficient – HIIT allows you to burn more calories and improve your fitness in less time compared to longer workouts.

The science:
HIIT has been found to increase VO2 max (your body’s ability to use oxygen during exercise), which is a key marker of cardiovascular fitness.  It also improves insulin sensitivity, helping to lower the risk of metabolic diseases like Type 2 diabetes.
