When you imagine a high-intensity interval training (HIIT) workout, high-impact moves like burpees or or jump squats probably come to mind. These are definitely a great way to raise your heart rate during short intervals, but they’re not suitable for everyone.
Beginners in particular are better off starting with lower-impact exercises during their workouts, and even if you’re after something efficient like HIIT, you can raise your heart rate to maximize the benefits with moves that don’t require jumping around.
