High-Intensity Training

HIT (High-Intensity Training) is a fitness methodology focused on short, intense bursts of exercise followed by brief recovery periods, designed to maximize efficiency and cardiovascular benefits. Unlike steady-state cardio, HIT alternates between all-out effort (e.g., sprinting, burpees) and rest, often in cycles of 20–60 seconds. Related terms include HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training), tabata (a specific 20s-on/10s-off protocol), and metabolic conditioning.

HIT workouts are time-efficient, typically lasting 15–30 minutes, and boost endurance, fat burning, and muscle retention. Common exercises include kettlebell swings, jump squats, and battle ropes. Confusion might arise with HIRT (High-Intensity Resistance Training), which incorporates weights, or CrossFit, which blends HIT with functional movements. Key principles are progressive overload and minimal rest to sustain elevated heart rates.
