Consider the physiological responses to sedentary lifestyles.It is an unfortunate fact that about 90 percent of all Americans do too little exercise to receive any fitness benefits” Most of those who do perform regular exercise engage in aerobic activity such as walking, jogging, cycling and dancing.

One of the most common excuses people give for not exercising is that they don’t have time. And if you’re one of those folks who swears up and down that you don’t have an hour (or even 30 minutes) to spare for a workout, then HIIT is the perfect solution.What is HIIT?HIIT stands for High Intensity Interval Training, and it involves alternating between periods of intense exercise and brief recovery. The idea behind HIIT training is that you don’t allow your body to adjust to exercising at just one level of intensity, which enables you to essentially turn into a fat-burning machine.
