What is "HIIT"?...You may be wondering. HIIT is the acronym for "High Intensity Interval Training." HIIT is a training technique in which you give all-out, one hundred percent effort through quick, intense bursts of exercise, followed by short, sometimes active, recovery periods. This type of training gets and keeps your heart rate up and burns more fat in less time.
So, join me in this 4 week challenge. It's just one workout per week, so really, it's more like a test.
And the best part? Every workout is under 20 minutes! Oh, and that Alana also does HIIT!

Tips and Notes:
Be sure to warm up and stretch thoroughly before starting.
On = as fast as you can possibly go
Off = a slow jog; if that’s too hard, walking is permitted too. Try to work up to a jog though.
If you can’t run, this can also be done on a bike, stair master, or elliptical.
