HIIT (high intensity interval training) means you’re doing short, explosive intervals, followed by a period of rest.
You can work until you complete a particular distance, period of time, or to reach a heart rate goal.
You then follow with a recovery period of either a predetermined amount of time or until your heart rate goes back down. Here I’m aiming for 80-90% of my max heart rate, so usually 160-180 beats per minute.
HIIT is great for improving your anaerobic threshold and VO2max. It also causes EPOC, which means you burn calories after exercise. Just remember, 80% of your cardio should be zone 2, or approximately 110-130 BPM.
