At Home HIIT Cardio Workout

This At Home HIIT Cardio Workout is designed as a fat burning workout. HIIT stands for (High Intensity Interval Training). Studies by the NFL and many top universities have found that the quickest, and most effective way, fat burning is to use HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training).

This is especially true for people with body types that put on weight easily. The key to HIIT workouts is simply that you have to push yourself hard. Keeping your heart rate up is essential to the workout.

At home HIIT cardio workouts are extra-tough. This is because you have to keep yourself honest. Push yourself to go as hard as you can. Of course, the best thing about HIIT training is that you can accomplish a lot more in a smaller amount of time. This is provided that you workout hard, of course.

Cardio HIIT Training

The advantages of Cardio HIIT training are numerous. Studies have shown that with High Intensity Interval Training you can:

  1. Burn more calories than endurance cardio
  2. Burn more fat than endurance cardio
  3. Increase power and speed
  4. Increase muscle density
  5. Improve anaerobic endurance
  6. Improve aerobic endurance
  7. Speed up metabolism for the next 36 hours
  8. Shorten cardio training sessions by 33%-50%

It is a good idea to warm up before a HIIT cardio workout. Because you are going to be working your abs, calves, core, glutes, hamstrings, and quads, start moving those areas before hand. Use jumping jacks or jump rope to work your core and legs. You can also stretch before hand, but studies have shown conflicting results as to whether that’s beneficial or not.You can also mimic the workout routine that you are about to use, but go at 50% speed.

The original form of HIIT training involved 20 seconds of intense activity, followed by 10 seconds of rest. You can learn more about the history of HIIT training at Wikipedia. There are also many studies on the validity of HIIT Training.

One thing is for certain: If you push yourself with HIIT training, you will burn more fat in less time.
