HIIT routines are typically both high intensity and high impact. But you can still get the hard work while being easy on your body.<\/p>\n

High-intensity workouts are designed to be hard. The whole point of repeatedly going all out for 30 seconds or a minute at a time is to get the maximum cardiovascular exercise in the least amount of time. But that doesn\u2019t mean these workouts need to be punishing for your joints.<\/p>\n

The most well-known of these workouts, high intensity interval training, or HIIT, involves high-impact moves and has been adopted by serious athletes to become stronger, faster and more powerful<\/a>, said Susane Pata, a Miami-based trainer with the National Academy of Sports Medicine.<\/p>\n

HIIT workouts<\/a> caught on at gyms in the early 2000s, and studies have shown their benefits, including improved cholesterol and blood pressure profiles, heart health and fat loss.<\/p>\n

However, since then, many trainers have adapted them to be accessible to a wider audience, Ms. Pata said. Since the end of the pandemic, a gentler version has emerged, known as HILIT, or high-intensity, low-impact interval training.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

These workouts substitute high-impact activities such as sprinting, burpees or jump lunges with joint-friendly alternatives. The goal is still the same: to keep your heart rate above 80 percent of your absolute maximum before letting it barely recover and then repeating the effort.<\/p>\n
