HIIT Cardio Training Keeps The Freaks Running

Every year the freaks come out at night.  This year is no different.  Halloween is right around the corner and the crazy costumes and crazy people will be running around. 

In the fitness world, running around is a good thing.  When trying to lose weight and tone up the body, you have to keep your body moving in order to burn those calories. 

My favorite type of cardio is mixing high intensity with low intensity training.  This is what is called High Intensity Interval Training, or also known as HIIT. 

Trust me… I do not cardio.  I think traditional cardio is boring.  Who wants to stand on a treadmill or elliptical and just move their legs and arms for thirty minutes to an hour.  Not me. 

I know I don’t have the patience nor the time to do so neither. 

That’s why HIIT training is an awesome, quick way for busy men and women to burn fat in minimal time.

It’s more fun, more efficient, and great for those who don’t have time to workout.
