No time for gymming? Try this!

<p>Are you one of those who struggles to find time to gym every day? Well, you don't need to go to one every day. Skip the gym and try High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT). Shahab Kalim, winner of Jerai Physique Competition in 2017 &amp; lawyer based in Kolkata says, &ldquo;In the gym, it's the quality of focus that matters. Mike Mentzer, Arnold Schwarzenegger's fierce rival, was a big fan of HIIT. He said that training should be brief and intense to attain the best result in the shortest time.&rdquo; Burning calories in a short period of time, good heart health without any equipment, and increased metabolism are some of the benefits of HIIT. However, you need to keep a few things in mind. Always stretch properly and warm up before starting HIIT workouts, ensure you get proper nutrition before and after the workout, and don't overdo it by extending it to an hour. Here is how you can begin... The 'Burpee-pull up-jumping jack' workout is a good way to start. The circuit given below should be done 4 times, with a 1-minute break after each round <br>1.
