What is HIIT and is it effective for fat loss?
HIIT
HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training) involves short bursts of intense exercise followed by brief periods of rest or low-intensity activity. It's highly effective for fat loss because:
- It boosts calorie burn during and after exercise (afterburn effect).
- It's time-efficient, often lasting 15-30 minutes per session.
- It preserves muscle mass while burning fat, making it ideal for maintaining strength. Try incorporating HIIT 2-3 times a week alongside a balanced diet for optimal fat loss results.
