heart-friendly cardio workout is a blend of<br />
aerobic exercise and strength training.2 It is<br />

workouts can strengthen the heart and<br />
improve blood circulation.3 Interval<br />
training improves VO2 max, a measurement<br />
of the maximum volume of oxygen the<br />
heart pumps throughout the body. Raised<br />
oxygen levels helps minimizethe risk of<br />
heart diseases such as high cholesterol,<br />
coronary artery disease, and heart<br />
attacks.3 It can also improve blood<br />
pressure and blood sugar levels.3<br />
HIIT is a complex format since there<br />
are numerous possibilities in creating<br />
workout combinations. It is a faster<br />
route to fitness by working out<br />
harder instead of longer. Doing short<br />
bursts of heart-pounding cardio<br />
followed by shorter recovery periods<br />
is a promising method to boost<br />
cardio-respiratory health in less time<br />
compared to traditional forms of<br />
exercise.2,3 Overall, the benefits of<br />
incorporating HIIT to your fitness<br />
regimecan ultimately lead to a longer<br />
life and a healthier heart.<br />
