Two Amazing Benefits of HIIT:
1. Encourages Fat Loss
High-Intensity Interval Training sends your body into fat-burning overdrive. It is designed to
push you to maximum effort in limited �me. HIIT increases res�ng metabolic rate following
exercise for up to 24 hours, allowing you to burn more calories even when you’re not training.
This is due to excess post-exercise oxygen consump�on (EPOC).
Long slow aerobic exercise can cause muscle wastage as the body relies on muscle as a source
of energy. To keep muscle mass and lose excess fat, add HIIT into your regime.
2. Burns More Calories in A Shorter Amount of Time
Studies have proven that HIIT is the most �me-efficient fat blaster exercise form there is. In fact,
15 minutes of HIIT can burn more calories than 1 hour of jogging.
Because the body is training at such a high intensity, it is more prone to injury. So, include a
warm-up and a stretching rou�ne before and a�er your HIIT training.
