That's about
These numbers are for an adult of about 70 kg. Weigh more and you burn more, weigh less and it's a bit less.
Twenty minutes is about 195 kcal and half an hour is 295. That includes the short rests, which are part of how it works.
HIIT means short bursts of hard work, like burpees or sprints, with quick breaks in between. It's popular because it fits into a lunch break, not because it's magic.
Tips
- 1Two or three sessions a week is plenty. Walk or rest on the other days.
- 2Follow a 20 minute video at home, no kit needed.
- 3Go hard on the work bits and properly rest in the breaks, that's the whole idea.
