8 Things to Know About Aerobic Capacity #3 (HIIT)

High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is not only effective for burning calories, but it can also help improve aerobic capacity. At higher intensities, the body will use ATP from anaerobic sources, but will rely on aerobic metabolism during the lower-intensity recovery intervals to help replace the energy spent during the high-intensity work periods. The downside is that while HIIT is effective, too much of it could cause overtraining. For best results, limit your clients to no more than three HIIT workouts per week.
