HIIT: A Great Way to Boost Your Hormones
Sunday, July 24th, 2016

If you have trouble finding even a little bit of time to include some exercise into your daily routine, then high-intensity interval training (also known as HIIT) might be the answer for you. Besides helping you get all of the benefits of a great workout, a study published in the Journal of Sports Science notes that the amount of human growth hormone in your body can spike by up to 450 percent after a particularly intense session. In case you are still on the fence about whether you should start incorporating HIIT into your life, here are a few more reasons why it could be the best way for you to get fit every day.

You Donā€™t Need Special Equipment

While there may be some HIIT exercises that utilize simple pieces of equipment, most of them can be done using only your body. You will be jumping, running, lunging, and squatting using mostly your own body weight. This is great news, especially if you are tired of going to a gym only to see your favorite exercise machines perpetually out of service. A mat can help you get a little more comfortable, but other than that, nothing can stop you from burning a good hundred calories on your own.

You Donā€™t Need to Spend Too Much Time

Unlike a lot of traditional exercises that require nearly an hour of your time, you can burn fat and build muscle even if you only have fifteen minutes to spare each day. With some workouts, such as the Tabata method, you could burn up to fifteen calories a minute. This means that you could burn a total of over two hundred calories if you spent a quarter of an hour exercising. Youā€™ll still be burning those calories even hours after you have finished your routine, according to an article by Cassie Shortsleeve on Menā€™s Fitness.

You Can Work Out Wherever You Want

Since you donā€™t need any special tools or equipment to do any of these workouts, you can do it practically anywhere you want to. Whether you prefer to carry out your routines at the gym or prefer to do it in the privacy of your own home, you wonā€™t have to skip your routine even if youā€™re traveling or always on the go. Just make enough space in your hotel room, put on some heart-pumping music if youā€™d like, and youā€™re ready to go.

Take Advantage of HIIT Anytime, Anywhere

As you can see, by just spending a few minutes every day to sweat it out, you can already gain a ton of long-lasting health benefits, even if you have a busy lifestyle. But as with any type of exercise, itā€™s important to complement it with healthy sleeping habits as well as a balanced diet, especially if you really want to see great results. With enough determination, you will be able to reach your target weight and be fit enough to do all of the fun activities youā€™ve been planning to cross off of your bucket list.
