HIIT workouts are great for many reasons, the most popular being that research shows they’re an effective way to burn calories and lose fat in a short space of time. But, if you can’t deal with the very high intensity moves that some of these workouts include (we’re talking burpees, jumping squats, mountain climbers) then try this HIIT workout instead. There’s no jumping involved, but it’ll still get your heart racing and burn calories. Plus, it requires no equipment. Just make sure you’re wearing your best workout shoes so you’re stable and to avoid injuries.
As well as burning calories during your workout, another reason to try HIIT is that it also burns calories post-workout too. According to MyProtein: "After a HIIT workout the body needs to consume extra oxygen to return the body to its normal state. This process, known as excess post-exercise oxygen consumption or EPOC, burns calories for up to 24 hours after the workout." So, even when you're recovering you're still burning calories — result!
