Fat Blasting HIIT Workout – Burn Fat up to 24 Hours

High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT), typically includes a short warm up, followed by 6-10 high intensity exercises, with low intensity recovery periods or rest, and lastly a cool down. When performing the intensity workout portion, near maximum effort is required. HIIT usually lasts between 15 – 20 minutes.

Keep in mind that HIIT increases the amount of fat burn during exercise routines and continues to do so for up to 24 hours. The time it takes the body to recover from each training period takes longer than if doing a steady pace while training, which is why caloric/fat burn continues for a period of time after exercise is over.
