You may never get rid of that extra little inch, but you will get rid of most of it. You will get rid of the back fat and the heavy hips that people don't like, and you will decrease visceral fat, the fat that is inside, smothering your organs. And this is what we really want.



” A post shared by Jay Shetty (@jayshetty) What's sprint interval? How's it different from HIIT? Sprint interval training (SIT) is a workout method that alternates short bursts of all-out effort (sprints) with longer periods of rest or low-intensity exercise. Similar to high-intensity interval training (HIIT), SIT is based on an interval-style method of training and includes periods of intense work followed by a longer rest period, according to a 2022 report on Healthline.com.

According to the report, HIIT is generally suitable for intermediate fitness levels, while SIT requires pushing your body to maximal intensity, which may be more appropriate for well-trained and conditioned individuals. How to start weight lifting? Some exercises, including bicep curls and squats, can support weight training at home or the gym. Certain exercises require free weights or your body weight to provide resistance.
