High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) Health Benefits

High Intensity Interval training is a type of training that involves a series of high-intensity exercise bouts interspersed with rest or relief periods. The high-intensity periods are typically close or higher to anaerobic exercise (~130% v02max) , while the recovery periods involve activity of lower intensity (~60% v02max)
