529 Is HIIT for me?

Are you ready to ramp up your workout and take your fitness to the next level? If yes, you might be asking, "Is HIIT for me?". HIIT stands for (High Intensity Interval Training). It's a form of exercise alternating between a high, intense, quick burst of anaerobic exercise and a less intense exercise during recovery. HIIT is great for cardiovascular exercise. The key to HIIT is a short burst of FULL OUT activity with a recovery period. HIIT protocols can last anywhere between 4-30 minutes. Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women?
