By Jessie BaconSo with Thanksgiving coming up, I’m assuming that you want to most likely either look amazing or just overall prepare for all of the food that you will eat. This workout is quick, fat burning, and you will sweat like crazy, so it’s perfect in a time of midterms and the holidays. HIIT stands for high intensity interval training and it’s basically an insanely hard workout for thirty minutes that alternates intervals to increase metabolism and burn more fat. This specific workout is used on a treadmill and I’m assuming a majority of you have access to the Rec Center which has those machines. The beautiful treadmill area in the Rec Center. Take advantage of it! You can also change up the different speeds and formulate different intensities to fit your various fitness goals! I recommend doing this workout and then after completion you do an ab workout or focus on arms and legs! I understand that people are very busy preparing for possible midterms or to leave on time for break so this workout is effective and quick! Happy running and Go Gophers.
