For the uninitiated, HIIT (high-intensity interval training) workout is a combination of brief, very-high intensity bursts of cardio exercise followed by equal or long periods of rest. This workout is more effective for heart health, fat loss and strength gain than traditional cardio and strength training. It is because HIIT workouts are known for increasing fat burning and energy expenditure for hours after exercise.
