Ahh, HIIT. It\u2019s the workout everybody brags about doing, day in and day out, because they have #BodyGoals that they\u2019re here to, er, hit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is high-intensity interval training?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

HIIT, or high-intensity interval training, wasn\u2019t meant to be done every day. And if you\u2019re able to actually bust out that level of intensity five, six, or seven days per week, you\u2019re likely doing it wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We know \u2014 it\u2019s not what you want to hear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But these super-quick routines were created so you could perform your chosen form of\u00a0cardio<\/a>\u00a0at maximum effort, says\u00a0Joey Thurman<\/a>, certified personal trainer and author of \u201c365 Health and Fitness Hacks That Could Save Your Life.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe idea is to elevate your heart rate for a brief period, followed by resting for a given period,\u201d Thurman explains. \u201cYou can train in a 1:1 work-to-rest ratio (sprint for 30 seconds, rest for 30), a 1:2 ratio (sprint for 30 seconds, rest for 1 minute), a 1:3 ratio (sprint for 30 seconds, rest for 1.5 minutes), and so forth.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The key, he says, is to go at your\u00a0maximum<\/em>\u00a0effort during the\u00a0sprints<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
