What is the primary benefit of incorporating HIIT workouts into your routine?

ANSWER:

The primary advantage of HIIT is its efficiency in burning a significant number of calories in a relatively short period. This form of exercise alternates between intense bursts of activity and fixed periods of less intense activity or complete rest. The high-intensity periods create a metabolic demand that is highly effective for burning fat and improving cardiovascular fitness. Additionally, HIIT workouts induce the 'afterburn effect' (excess post-exercise oxygen consumption or EPOC), where your body continues to burn calories at an elevated rate even after the workout has concluded. This makes HIIT an excellent choice for those looking to maximize calorie burn and improve fitness in a limited time frame.
