HIIT Training

HIIT, or High-Intensity Interval Training, is a training technique in which you give all-out, 100% effort through quick, intense bursts of exercise, followed by short, sometimes active recovery periods.  This type of training gets and keeps your heart rate up and burns more fat in less time.  This is good for fat loss, cardio and full body health.
