Following on from our first HIIT Workout guide we gave you, here’s workout number 2 to try.
This time, you’ll need 20-25 minutes to complete the whole workout but, because of the Afterburn Effect we’ve talked about on our blog before, you’ll be feeling the benefits for hours afterwards!
HIIT gets your heart racing, your metabolism rocketing whilst leaving you feeling stronger and burning more calories overall, triggering the Afterburn Effect. Using your time wisely with frequent exercise workouts is key, with claims that 95% of the calories lost as a result of HIIT happen after the exercise has finished.
This quick workout can be completed in your own home, so forget sitting in the gym for hours and get started on workout number 2!
