HIIT for people with twenty minutes
Short, hard, done. The most training per minute.
- Full sessions in 15 to 25 minutes
- Work and rest intervals timed for you, with audio cues
- Scales from bodyweight beginner to genuinely brutal
High-intensity intervals alternate hard bursts with real recovery. It is the most efficient way to train when time is the constraint — but the intensity has to be genuine, and the rest has to be genuine too.
Four levels
Starter
Never done this before. Slow tempo, every move broken down.
Beginner
You know the basics. Full sessions at a comfortable pace.
Intermediate
Longer combinations, higher intensity, fewer rests.
Advanced
Full speed, complex sequences, and real conditioning work.
HIIT questions
How often can I do HIIT?
Two to three times a week, with a rest day in between. HIIT is demanding on the nervous system — doing it daily usually makes you slower, not fitter.
Is HIIT safe for beginners?
Start with the beginner sessions, which use longer rests and low-impact movements. Build a few weeks of steady cardio first if you are completely new to training.
What if I cannot finish an interval?
Stop and rejoin at the next interval. A session where you completed most rounds well beats one where you ground through all of them badly.
