HIIT or high intensity interval training is a type of cardio training which requires you to combine periods of activity at high intensity with periods at low intensity. HIIT has been a rage with gym-goers to lose fat and bulk up since they claim that while steady-state cardio burns both fat and muscle, HIIT only targets the stubborn fat. So an example of a HIIT session would be 3 minutes on the treadmill at 5km/h followed by 2 minutes at 12km/h and this would be repeated at least thrice. HIIT not only burns more fat than steady state cardio but is also better for the heart and helps you burn fat from stubborn places. If you’ve trouble running, HIIT can be performed on other machines like the elliptical or indoor cycle as well.
