HIIT stands for High-Intensity Interval Training — a workout method that alternates between short bursts of intense activity and periods of rest or low-intensity recovery.

🔁 How It Works:

You push your body to near maximum effort for a short time (e.g., 20–60 seconds), then recover briefly (e.g., 10–60 seconds), and repeat this cycle multiple times.

🏋️‍♂️ Example:

30 seconds of sprinting
30 seconds of walking
Repeat for 15–30 minutes

✅ Benefits of HIIT:

Burns more calories in less time
Boosts metabolism (calorie burn continues after the workout — “afterburn effect”)
Improves heart health
Increases endurance and strength
Requires no equipment (can use bodyweight exercises)

🔥 Common HIIT Exercises:

Jump squats
Burpees
Mountain climbers
High knees
Push-ups

🕒 Typical Session Length:

10 to 30 minutes, depending on your fitness level and intensity
