High intensity interval training (HIIT) creates EPOC, otherwise known as “Post exercise oxygen consumption effect” This means that even after your 1 hour training session:
-
You continue to ramp up fat burning the rest of the day (supported by scientific evidence)
-
Much more time efficient than steady state cardio exercise
-
You get the same fat loss, with nearly half the time
-
Mentally, people believe in their efforts more and feel like their going harder
-
Tends to be a lot more exciting because it’s one exercise, to the next! You quite literally don’t have time to think about how tired or sore you are getting.
Say hello to the Afterburn Effect of HIIT
When you complete a HIIT workout, your body will be burning MORE calories, for up to 48 hours after you leave the gym!
