If you aren’t familiar with the term HIIT it essentially stands for High Intensity Interval Training and is pronounced “hit.” This form of interval based training essentially means that your goal should be to perform a short burst interval of an exercise as fast as you can and with as much effort as possible.

Because of this these time efficient HIIT workouts can vary. So you can scale the level of intensity and volume as you can with anything else in order to suit your current level of fitness and ability. Remember that I always expect you to push, but not at the expense of quality movement and control.

I think this is because with the tremendous influx of information due to the internet it often seems like people tend to offer solutions to training by painting with a broad brush, or by defaulting to metaphorically trying to use a hammer for both nails and screws.
