HIIT - High Intensity Training

HIIT – short for High Intensity Interval Training – is an intensive training program performed in short, high-intensity intervals, providing a total of 45 minutes of high-energy exercise. This form of training is characterized by a combination of high-intensity exercise phases and short recovery sequences that push the body to its limits in a short period of time while achieving maximum training effects.

A typical HIIT workout consists of functional strength exercises like squats, push-ups, or planks combined with cardio sequences like sprints, burpees, or jumping jacks. This variation provides variety, keeps your heart rate consistently high, and boosts both your metabolism and circulation. After just a short time, you'll feel your endurance, muscle strength, and energy improve.

HIIT has numerous benefits for your body and health: It promotes fat burning , improves cardiovascular fitness , and increases your metabolic rate , so your body continues to burn calories even after your workout (the so-called afterburn effect ). It also increases muscle strength and endurance , improves coordination, and promotes defined muscles. Due to the intensity of the training, just 2–3 sessions per week are enough to achieve significant progress.

Another advantage of HIIT is its flexibility : The exercises can be individually adapted to every fitness level, whether beginner or advanced . This allows each participant to train at their own pace and get the most out of each session. At the same time, the workout remains varied, as the exercises can be changed at any time.

HIIT is therefore an ideal full-body workout that trains strength, endurance, and flexibility simultaneously. It not only makes you fitter, but also gives you an energy boost for everyday life and sustainably improves your physical condition. With High Intensity Interval Training, you get a compact, efficient, and motivating workout that's suitable for all fitness levels—whether you want to improve your fitness, build muscle, or simply have more energy in your everyday life.
