HIIT

There is nothing more upsetting than not getting results after dedicating hours to workout sin the gym and dieting over the course of many months!

In a world where time is often the most precious commodity, finding an effective workout that fits into a busy schedule can be a real challenge.

There are many activities to choose from when trying to get in or stay in shape. Some activities are better than others and may be more beneficial when added as part of a weekly exercise routine.

High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) is indeed a popular exercise option for many people, and it comes with its own set of pros and cons. Let's take a look.

The human body is at its peak, physiologically speaking, between the ages of about 18-29 years old. Bodily changes occur thereafter, like losses in strength and aerobic capacity coupled with changes in bodyweight and body composition.

Many people who aspire to build muscle wonder, "Does cardio kill muscle gains?" This is an understandable question, as no one wants their hard-earned sweat equity in the gym to go to waste! 

While we all know that getting in daily exercise is important to everyone, there is much debate about what kind of exercise is best for us, especially with cardio training.

Sometimes you may feel you need a PhD just to understand the differences between all the cardio terminology. For example, do you grapple with how to perform a high-intensity interval training (HIIT) session or a Tabata protocol?

HIIT uses a combination of quick intervals of intense exercise and short recovery periods.

First, some background on the well-known Tabata workout. The workout almost ended up having a name other than Tabata associated with it.
