Is HIIT good for fat loss?

HIIT the hit topic of all of time, and is being loved and appreciated by many already. People have shown great results with this type of workout and they continue to keep adding it onto their routines.

So first let us understand what exactly is HIIT?

High Intensity Interval Training

HIIT is an extreme type of workout program that builds endurance, strength and helps shed weight more quickly.

Does it not already sound like the best of all worlds right? Building endurance, gaining strength and losing weight too all together with just one type of workout?

 Most of the HIIT workouts are completed within the range of 10 to 30 minutes, which is less time than you need for a full cardio conditioning or strength training session. A HIIT workout consists of intervals of intense bursts of energy followed by little to no rest, because that heart rate is still up and that eventually helps you in losing more weight quickly.

HIIT is an amazing  workout program to lose weight in less time but with more efforts. Most of the people may burn the same number of calories in a 20-minute HIIT workout than they can in performing constant cardio or strength training for at least 45 minutes. HIIT also increases lung capacity and blood flow within the body, hence making your heart healthier.

So yes, when we look at HIIT it is a great way of losing weight and building strength at the same time. Eventually you do have to keep your diet in mind, only if you are eating right and following the calorie deficit routine you will win, but if you think eating 2 large pizza’s a week and consuming a lot of sugar may do nothing to disturb your efforts then you might be wrong there.

 But however with so many benefits it does have a guideline to follow:

HIIT cannot be performed on daily basis, simple reason:

When it comes to an intense exercise like HIIT, doing it every day, or for periods longer than 30 minutes can put you at risk for injury, overtraining, mental burnout, and prevent muscle recovery, so you should know about the right routine or intervals for your own body.

2 to 3 times a week it is sufficient for you to do HIIT, but more than that totally depends on your routine and how much rest you are getting or how many times you are hitting the gym.

People with heart issues may avoid such activities because HIIT eventually increases your heart rate and you get very less period of rest.
