Want to lose your protruding belly? Longing for a 6-pack abs?

HIIT is the best for you!

HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) burns a high amount of calories in a small time and keeps your body’s metabolism increased for longer periods. They are said to work better for their longer results than the conventional cardio training programs. They burn 9 times more calories than regular work outs. HIIT cardio is recommended for short training sessions of 20 minutes because of its high intensity. You may extend the intervals at advanced stages.

It also fits people with busy and hectic life style because you keep on losing calories even when you are not doing anything. It works thus by keeping your metabolism rate high. To those foody people around here, HIIT suppresses your food cravings and appetite as well.

For example, you can incorporate HIIT in your running exercise. You can alternate between fast running (high speed and high intensity) and jogging (slow and low intensity exercise). If you ran for 20 seconds you can do some jogging for 30 seconds and then sprint back to running. This way you can shift between the two for 20 minutes. Also, deep breaths maximizes the weight loss effect.

Your body gradually adapts and adjusts itself to your steady running exercise. The body also conserves energy in the form of calories and thus limits the calorie consumption. As you do HIIT your body cannot be so smart as you are tricking it by alternating the exercises. You may very well end up with an attractive muscle mass and 6-pack abs if you do it right.

Though HIIT is of short durations it is difficult as it zaps energy. It varies your heart beat rate continuously as you switch back and forth from regular to high intensity cardios. Remember to eat healthy as you do HIIT.Do not ignore hunger. You need lots of energy to continue this high intensity training program.
