If you don't enjoy long sessions of cardio exercise, high intensity interval training (HIIT) may be your best option. By increasing the intensity, you can cut your workouts shorter and still see the same benefits. HIIT can also help you burn fat quicker. The Tabata method of HIIT consists of engaging in an exercise at maximum effort for 20 seconds, then resting for 10 seconds. You can repeat the process until you reach your daily goal of minutes of exercise. Try the Tabata workout routine below!
