Training

High-intensity interval training (HIIT)

HIIT alternates short bursts of very high intensity with short recovery — a time-efficient stimulus for multiple physiological systems.

What is HIIT

High-intensity interval training pairs hard work intervals with brief recovery. It stresses cardiovascular, respiratory, muscular, and metabolic systems at once — between classic cardio and strength work.

Practical takeaway

Use HIIT as a complement to strength and aerobic training — not as the only method in your plan.
