Think of high-intensity interval training (aka HIIT workouts) \u2014 where you alternate short bursts of intense exercise and active recovery time \u2014 as the workout gift that keeps on giving. First, it\u2019s designed to burn more calories<\/a> and fat in less time, giving you that excuse-squashing<\/a> way to squeeze in a sweat. Then, it revs up your heart rate<\/a> and alters metabolic pathways so much so that you keep torching calories even after you stop moving. So it\u2019s basically the<\/em> go-to for anyone looking to get fit, strong and slim without dedicating hours to doing so. (Can anyone say no to that?)<\/p>\n

The catch: You have to learn how to do it (and recognize whether you’re pushing hard enough), give it your all and switch up your approach every now and then. To get you doing just that, we rounded up top resources for making your HIIT workout super effective, fun \u2014 and speedy. So whether you’re a beginner exerciser or more advanced athlete, you’ll HIIT it big with these tips.<\/p>\n
