The Meaning of HIIT

Few people asked me what HIIT meant.  Here's an explanation below. You'll see why I love them!  TurboFire has several HIIT DVDs varying from only 15 minutes to 25 minutes. You can get a natural "high" from the workouts too.

From Wikipedia
High-intensity interval training (HIIT), also called High-Intensity Intermittent Exercise (HIIE) or sprint interval training, is an enhanced form of interval training, an exercise strategy alternating periods of short intense anaerobic exercise with less-intense recovery periods. HIIT is an effective form of cardiovascular exercise. Usual HIIT sessions may vary from 9–20 minutes. These short, intense workouts provide improved athletic capacity and condition, improved glucose metabolism, and improved fat burning.
