High intensity interval training (HIIT) is when you have an intense work period (~20-30secs) followed by a rest period (~60-120secs). It is an incredibly efficient and effective way to train! To reap the full benefits you have to really go all out intensity and give 100% effort on the work interval. 🏊🏼♂️🏋🏼♂️

It can be challenging to find an exercise that is so taxing it brings you to full fatigue in 30 secs or less, while being low impact and avoiding injury potential. 😅

My all-time favorite: Swimming! It's a low impact, full body exercise that you can safely do high-intensity sprints 🏊🏼♂️ 💦

HIIT sessions have been shown to balance hormones, burn fat, and build muscle ⚖️🔥💪🏼

This style of training substantially boosts metabolic rate, which lasts for hours after your workout, allowing you to burn extra calories long after your training session is over ⏳
