We're back with another round of Fitness Blender's signature challenge; Can you HIIT Like a Girl?
A lot of people tend to default to the treadmill or elliptical for their cardio and in reality, those sessions are significantly less effective than HIIT workouts. Not only is high intensity interval training an incredibly efficient way of burning calories, it can also build fast twitch muscles (responsible for short, powerful bursts of exertion) in a way similar to strength training - unlike prolonged steady state cardio that can actually lead to the breakdown of muscles. HIIT also offers the benefits of being on of the fastest ways to increase your cardiovascular thresholds and it provides a metabolic boost hours after your routine is done.
