Workout Wednesday

"Cardio HIIT"

It’s no secret that high intensity interval training has many benefits. Here are my top reasons why short bursts of intensity, (otherwise known as HIIT) is my favourite type of workout 🙌
.
✔️It helps build endurance
✔️Burns calories and body fat in a shorter period of time – winning
✔️Promotes effective use of energy
✔️Boosts metabolism
✔️Provides an after burn of calories post workout – again we are winning
✔️You don’t need fancy equipment
✔️It’s great for heart health
✔️HIIT totally takes you out of your comfort zone pushing you into the unknown but man oh man it feels good afterwards 😍
