HIIT seems to be all the range right now, but what are the pro's and cons?
Pro: It saves time, is highly effective at burning fat, it preserves muscle mass, ramps up your metabolism for hours after, it can lower resting heart rate as well as high blood pressure, and it can lower your blood sugar.
Con: Can lead to overtraining and injuries since it's very taxing on the nervous system, it's not as effective at developing your cardiovascular system, difficult to maintain good form and technique since your intensity level is so high, can cause dizziness if not properly nourished.
Solution- Do one or two high intensity workouts a week, as well as two to three longer lower intensity cardio workouts each week. The combo will lead to fat loss AND an improved cardiovascular system!
