Get Fit with HIIT

There’s no question that exercise is important for our health,
but many of us find it difficult to fit into our busy schedules.
In this episode, Michael Mosley explores how high-intensity
interval training, HIIT for short, might be the most
time-efficient way to get fitter. It can also boost your
cognitive performance, help you live longer, and improve your
quality of life. Martin Gibala, Professor of Kinesiology at
McMaster University in Ontario, reveals all about the beneficial
impact of HIIT on your cardiorespiratory system, your ability to
control your blood sugar levels, and your risk of chronic
diseases. Meanwhile, busy mum and NHS worker Suzanne finds HIIT a
great way to incorporate a workout into her hectic routine.
