Do you do HIIT?
High Intensity Interval Training is a workout method where you do intense training for 1 minute followed by period of rest for the same or even more amount of time. For example, if you run vigorously for 1 minute, you will have to stop for one minute or walk very slowly for one minute. The average session of HIIT can last upto 30 minutes.

I don't do HIIT. I like doing low impact exercises like jogging, walking, cycling, swimming, etc. I don't even go to a gym

Re: Do you do HIIT?
You have introduced me to something brand new. I have never heard of HIIT. But I can tell you, It's not likely that I will try it. Brisk walking is more my speed and I can't even make myself go for a walk! LOL. 
Re: Do you do HIIT?
I used to do HIIT workouts years ago but have found this high intensity doesn't work for my body like it used to as I've gotten older. One of the benefits to it is you get more bang for your buck. It mixes cardio with strength training & is great for any age & fitness level. Beginners just have to go slower. For those who do HIIT, is there a certain method you like to follow?
Re: Do you do HIIT?
I’ve tried HIIT, but I find that other exercises suit me better. While HIIT is great for quick, intense workouts, I prefer activities like running or strength training that allow me to pace myself and focus on form. These exercises feel more sustainable for my fitness goals, giving me a balance of endurance, strength, and mental clarity.
Re: Do you do HIIT?
High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) is an effective workout method that alternates between short bursts of intense activity and periods of rest or low-intensity exercise. For instance, after running vigorously for one minute, taking a rest or walking slowly for the same duration helps to recover while maintaining the workout's intensity. This approach not only boosts cardiovascular fitness but also maximizes calorie burn in a shorter amount of time. Typically, a HIIT session lasts up to 30 minutes, making it a convenient option for those with busy schedules who still want to get a challenging workout in.
