High Intensity Interval Training
What Is it?
High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) is one of the more recent fads to sweep through the fitness industry. I say ‘fad’ because high intensity intervals have long been a staple of athletic programs for almost every sport you can imagine. The benefits are well known and well researched. High Intensity Intervals have become more popular in recent times in the fitness industry because of a growing body of evidence of the health benefits this type of training provides on top of the well established fitness benefits. One of the most impressive findings involves an increase in insulin sensitivity which is a key marker for Diabetes. This has been achieved from only a very minimal amount of HIIT.
