High-intensity interval training (HIIT) involves short intense workouts. You give a series of exercises your full effort for short bursts – with you working at around 80-90% of your maximum heart rate – and follow it with a period of rest.

This type of training gets and keeps your heart rate up and burns more fat in less time. It also increases the body’s need for oxygen during the effort and creates an oxygen shortage, causing your body to ask for more oxygen during recovery.

While exercising with this type of maximum effort is difficult, it does wonders for your health.

HIIT classes help you build a stronger and healthier heart. With taking up HIIT 2-3x a week, you’ll start to see an improvement in your fitness, helping you maintain stamina for longer.

Burn Calories

As HIIT consists of short intervals of maximum effort, followed by a period of rest, this type of exercise burns 25–30% more calories than other forms of exercise in a shorter period of time.

Higher Metabolic Rate

The intensity of a HIIT workout can elevate your metabolism for hours after exercise. This results in burning additional calories even after you have finished exercising!

Lose Fat

Even though HIIT training is relatively shorter than traditional endurance exercise, high intensity interval training can produce similar or even more fat loss and reduced waist size.

Improve Oxygen Consumption

HIIT training can improve oxygen consumption as much as traditional forms of endurance training, even though you’re training only about half as long!

Other benefits of HIIT exercise:

- Reduce Heart Rate and Blood Pressure
- Reduce Blood Sugar
- Improves aerobic and anaerobic performance
