A typical workout session can last anywhere between 10 to 30 minutes with most of the workouts being your basic cardio exercises, just elevated to a more intense level.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It should also be noted that while <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/treadmill-hiit-workout\/\">HIIT<\/a> is typically done just using your bodyweight, some people prefer adding weights to their routines to maximize fat burning and heart health.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Are_HIIT_Workouts_Good_For_Weight_Loss\"><\/span><b>Are HIIT Workouts Good For Weight Loss?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While HIIT workouts are good for a number of health benefits, a good percentage of the people looking to get into this type of workout routine are looking to get rid of some fat, lose the muffin top and see the number on the scale go down.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, how effective are HIIT workouts for weight loss? HIIT exercise routines are incredibly good for weight loss &#8211; a fact proven not only by testimonials online, but also by several studies. For example:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a study published in the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Physiological reports<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> journal in 2013, researchers found that not only can doing just 20 minutes of a HIIT cycling burn about 230 calories, but this single exercise helped increase their total daily energy expenditure (amount of calories you burn in a day through the basal metabolic rate (BMR), activity levels, and the thermic effect of food metabolism) by about 10 percent (an extra 62 calories).<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/beach-body-hiit-workouts\/\">losing weight<\/a>, we need our bodies to burn calories instead of storing them. Calories not burned are stored as fat in the body which leads to increased visceral fat and weight gain. With this in mind, we see that burning an extra 62 calories a day goes a long way in helping you achieve your weight loss goals (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/24303194\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">12<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2015, a comparative study published in the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, compared how many calories male test subjects lost while doing either basic aerobics (cycling and running on the treadmill), resistance training, and HIIT. All nine male subjects did these 4 exercises for 30 minutes with the researchers measuring their heart rates, caloric expenditure, substrate use, and rate of perceived exertion during the workouts.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the end of the study, the researchers concluded that not only did the test subject burn the most calories during the HIIT exercise, but their heart rates were also significantly higher, and they also used the most amount of effort during this workout as compared to the others &#8211; even though all exercises took 30 minutes (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/25162652\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). This shows that with HIIT, you use more effort which leads to more calories burned, which in the long run means incredible weight loss results.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A study published in 2015 revealed that by doing HIIT, you are able to help your body keep burning calories for many hours after you\u2019ve left the gym. In the study, 20 recreationally active women were requested to perform six exercise sessions of aerobic endurance exercise, high-intensity interval running (HIIT), and high-intensity resistance training (HIRT).\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Their metabolic rates were measured before exercising, immediately after <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/steady-state-cardio\/\">working out<\/a>, 30 minutes after working out, and eventually an hour after exercising. Researchers found that on average, the HIIT workout increased the women\u2019s post-exercise resting energy expenditure as compared to the other two exercises (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/27747847\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">8<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). Having an elevated\u00a0 resting energy expenditure means that your body is able to burn a lot more calories while at rest (whenever you are not exercising), which equates to more weight loss in the long run.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Read More: <\/i><\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/hiit-vs-cardio\/\"><i>HIIT Vs Cardio For Weight Loss And Health Benefits: Which One Should You Do?<\/i><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/en\/first-page-generated-gender?flow=2196&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=HIIT_Workout_Weight_Loss\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-47294 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Frame-207742-1024x577.png\" alt=\"hiit workouts weight loss\" width=\"770\" height=\"434\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Frame-207742.png 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Frame-207742-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Frame-207742.png 768w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Frame-207742-1634x920.png 1634w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Frame-207742.png 1728w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Other_Than_Weight_Loss_What_Are_Some_Other_Benefits_Of_HIIT_Workouts\"><\/span><b>Other Than Weight Loss, What Are Some Other Benefits Of HIIT Workouts?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As seen above, <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/benefits-of-shiitake-mushrooms\/\">weight loss<\/a> is a goal that can certainly be achieved through high intensity interval workouts. However, this isn\u2019t the only benefit that can be gained from doing these exercises. Some other benefits include<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Time efficiency<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; One of the biggest hindrances to weight loss and even a healthy lifestyle in general, is the lack of time to hit the gym or even workout at home. Gym classes take anywhere between 45 minutes to an hour, and most home workouts aren\u2019t intense enough to give us the results that we want.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">HIIT, on the other hand, is very time efficient and will give you great results. A comparative study published in 2016 showed that doing HIIT exercises burned way more calories than sprint <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/hiit-for-beginners\/\">interval training<\/a>, even though study participants worked out for the same amount of time (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/26691413\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). Another review of studies published in 2014, revealed that doing just 3 sessions of HIIT exercise a week, with less than 30 minutes per session &#8211; including warm-up, recovery between intervals and cool down-, can lead to improved aerobic capacity, skeletal muscle oxidative capacity, exercise tolerance and markers of disease risk (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/24552392\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Fat Loss<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; Sometimes when you\u2019re working out, you may not see the scale go down as you desire, but this does not mean that your HIIT exercises are not working. Fat loss is important as it helps lower cholesterol and blood sugar levels, lower blood pressure, causes less stress on bones and joints, and less work for the heart.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your doctor has told you that your body fat percentage is high, then HIIT could help you reduce this. According to a review of multiple studies published in the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Journal of Obesity <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">in 2011, researchers found that these types of exercises worked exceptionally well for fat loss, even though in some cases, the weight of test subjects never changed by much or at all. Researchers found that, while short-term HIIT studies (anywhere between 2 to 6 weeks) showed negligible weight loss results, the longer studies ( up to 24 weeks), revealed incredible fat loss reduction, especially in overweight and obese persons (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC2991639\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another review published in 2017 in the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Obesity Reviews <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">journals concluded that while <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/hiit-workouts-for-men\/\">HIIT<\/a> took 40 percent less training time commitment than moderate-intensity continuous training, it also led to more fat loss than the latter even without accompanying body-weight changes (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/28401638\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">11<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Can lead to muscle gains<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; When we think about muscle growth, many people automatically think about weight lifting, and with good reason. While cardio can grow muscle, the result is not the same or as impressive as with weight lifting.

Make sure that you have the right shoes that provide both support and cushioning.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>A pre-workout snack\/supplement<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; Unfortunately, many people tend to not have anything to eat before heading out to the gym. If you are planning on doing a HIIT workout &#8211; or any other workout for that matter &#8211; it is always advisable to have a pre-workout snack or supplement.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Such a supplement or snack helps to increase <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/why-am-i-gaining-weight-doing-hiit\/\">your performance<\/a> by boosting energy, power, and stamina &#8211; allowing you to give your all during the session. If you are going for a small snack (e.g. a banana) or store bought supplements, try taking them about 30 minutes before your workout. If you prefer a bigger meal, eat at least an hour before you have to exercise.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Always do a warm up<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; This increases your heart rate, sends more blood and oxygen to your muscles and primes your muscles, warming them up for the coming workout. Failure to warm up before an intense workout session leaves you liable to injury.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Use weights<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (optional) &#8211; HIIT workouts for weight loss work great as home exercises because they do not require any weights. Your body weight is enough.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, to add the intensity and for better results, consider adding some free weights in your routine. If you cannot afford free weights, improvise and use heavy things in and around your house<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Give it your all<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; What makes HIIT what it is is the intensity used during the entire routine. If you want results, you must make sure to put all your effort into the exercises. Do not coast through the session. You should not be able to hold a conversation during the session.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Cool Down<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; Once your session is done, spare at least 5 minutes to do some cool down stretches. This allows both your heart rate and blood pressure to get back down to their normal rates and also helps your muscles not hurt as much the next day.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b><i>Read More: <\/i><\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/hiit-vs-liss\/\"><i>HIIT vs LISS: Which One Is Right For You?<\/i><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/en\/first-page-generated-gender?flow=2196&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=HIIT_Workout_Weight_Loss\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-47285 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Frame-207732-1024x577.png\" alt=\"hiit workouts weight loss\" width=\"770\" height=\"434\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Frame-207732.png 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Frame-207732-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Frame-207732.png 768w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Frame-207732-1634x920.png 1634w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Frame-207732.png 1728w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Are_Some_Good_HIIT_Workouts_For_Weight_Loss\"><\/span><b>What Are Some Good HIIT Workouts For Weight Loss?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that you understand the benefits of HIIT and what to do before and after a session, some good exercises that can be used for HIIT at home include<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Burpees<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mountain Climbers<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lunge Jumps<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sprints<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">High Knees<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Squat Jumps<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bodyweight Tabata<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jumping Jacks<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Push Ups<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jumping Ropes<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cycling<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are working out at the gym, you could also incorporate the following equipment into your routine<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Battle Ropes<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Treadmill runs\/sprints<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Free weights like kettlebells, dumbbells, barbells, or medicine balls,\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rowing<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stair Climber<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are a beginner to HIIT workout weight loss exercises,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Choose about 5 exercises from the ones mentioned above<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Start with 1 exercise and go as hard as you can for 30 seconds<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rest for 1 to 2 minutes.

Some people are likely to see weight loss results on the scale as soon as two weeks into their routine, while others may have to wait a month to see results.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We suggest giving yourself anywhere between 4 to 6 weeks to start seeing results. Also, remember that the scale is not the only determinant of fitness. Do you feel stronger? Does it take you longer to get winded while exercising? Do your clothes feel looser on you? All these are results of HIIT.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_HIIT_Exercise_Burns_The_Most_Fat\"><\/span><b>What HIIT Exercise Burns The Most Fat?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to weight or fat loss, no one exercise provides better results than all others. What determines how much fat you lose is your effort. If you give your all during the workout session, you are bound to lose weight faster.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is also important to note that overweight and obese people are bound to see much more significant results as compared to all who are leaner. Your diet also plays a huge role in how much weight you lose and how fast. Make sure to eat as clean as possible and at a calorie deficit.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Is_Typical_Weight_Loss_With_Workouts\"><\/span><b>What Is Typical Weight Loss With Workouts?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As previously mentioned, we all lose weight at different rates so it is hard to say the exact amount of weight you can lose while doing these workouts. Remember, the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CDC <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">recommends a healthy gradual weight loss of 1 to 2 pounds a week.
