High-intensity interval training (HIIT), sometimes referred to as Guerilla Cardio, is an exercise strategy that is intended to improve performance with short training sessions. HIIT 'sessions' are becoming increasingly popular among today's athletes as more studies are done about the benefits of this exercise method.

A HIIT session involves a warmup period, several short, maximum-intensity efforts separated by moderate recovery intervals, and a cooldown period. The period of alternating effort and recovery intervals typically lasts a total of 15 minutes.

Studies have shown this method to be more effective at burning fat while maintaining muscle mass compared to long duration, low intensity workouts.
