Why Use HIIT?

An HIIT workout has several advantages over “standard” workouts.

During the low intensity part of the workout, your body has a chance to recover some. Even though it’s only for a short time, the recovery period allows you to work harder so you gain more muscle and use more calories during your workout.

Also, the alternating heavy and light work keeps your muscles from falling into a pattern. It’s possible for your muscles to adapt to your routine and learn how to not work as hard as your want them to.

Another reason to use HIIT workouts is that research has shown that you can get the same fitness results as from a “standard” workout in less time if you use the HIIT method.
