HIIT uses fast-paced training intervals combined with short rests to maximize you heart rate and metabolism. The HIIT workout can keep you burning fat well after the exercise is completed. Step1 Warm up. Take a short, slow jog for about 5 minutes, and take time to stretch well. This will help minimize your soreness and allow your body to recover more quickly. Step2 Decide what type of cardiovascular exercise you like best. Start that exercise at a moderate pace, and keep it there for about 5 minutes. Step3 Increase your speed to the maximum you can go. If that's a treadmill, try to turn the speed up to 12 miles per hour. Do this for 1 minute, no longer. Step4 Go back to your original pace for about 2 minutes or however long it takes your body to get ready to increase the speed again. Try not to wait longer than 5 minutes because you want to capitalize on your accelerated heart rate to keep your metabolism high. Step5 Increase your speed to the maximum again. Keep that pace for a minute and then recover. Repeat these steps for 20 to 30 minutes.
