HIIT has been voted as one of the most popular workouts for the new year!

HIIT is high intensity interval training that consists of doing different exercises for a certain amount of time, followed by a short break before repeating.

Examples of HIIT workouts are lifting weights, squats, jumping jacks and riding a spin bike.

Benefits include burning a large amount of calories in a short time period. Brian Trainor, the owner of F-45 in Westport, says the time aspect of HIIT makes it popular with people of all fitness levels.
