High-intensity interval training, or HIIT, has taken over the fitness world over the last few years. And while there's no denying it's a challenging and effective way to work out, it's also incredibly taxing on your body. In fact, a HIIT workout should only be 20 or 30 minutes, max.
High-volume interval training, or HIVT, on the other hand, is another effective way to train your body without the added strain. Unlike HIIT, which is supposed to be performed at your absolute max capacity at each interval, HVIT works your body at about 60-75 percent maximum effort, which means you can sustain it for longer.
If you're short on time and can't make it to the gym, personal trainer Corey Phelps, NASM, created this HVIT workout for POPSUGAR. This workout doesn't require any equipment - just your bodyweight.
