Get a Metabolic Boost
Giving it your all in a quick HIIT workout increases your calorie burn both short term and up to 24 hours later. Win-win!
Build Muscle
In less than half the time it takes to finish a traditional, time-intensive strength workout, HIIT sessions match (and in some cases beat) the muscle strength gains.

Improve
Daily Function
This workout moves you from side to side, forward and backward, up and around.
All of that motion trains your muscles to better handle your daily movements.

Tire Less Quickly
Stronger leg muscles give you more oomph when you head out for a power walk. They let you take a longer stride and help absorb the impact of each step.
