Just because you\u2019re new to fitness doesn\u2019t mean high-intensity interval training isn\u2019t for you. Otherwise known as HIIT, these fast-paced workouts have been shown to torch tons of calories in a short amount of time \u2014\u00a0so you don\u2019t need to spend hours in the gym. This type of training will have you alternating between periods of maximum effort (think: 20 seconds of jumping jacks) and short recovery.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re just getting into fitness \u2014\u00a0or starting over after an injury \u2014\u00a0 the key to success lies in doing the right moves, at your own pace. Yes, HIIT<\/a> should be intense, but pushing too hard, too fast can result in injuries and other setbacks. Your task: Listen to your body, modify as needed, and complete each movement\u00a0with proper form.<\/p>\n
