+===== What is HIIT? =====
+**HIIT = High-Intensity Interval Training**
+HIIT is a way of exercising where you **switch between short bursts of hard effort** and **short periods of rest or easy movement**.
+It is one of the fastest ways to burn fat, improve fitness, and save time.
+----
+==== How HIIT Works ====
+  * **Work phase (hard):** 20–40 seconds of fast, powerful movement (example: sprinting, jump squats, burpees).
+  * **Rest phase (easy):** 10–60 seconds of light movement or full rest (example: slow walk, standing still).
+  * Repeat this cycle for **10–30 minutes total**.
+----
+==== Examples of HIIT Workouts ====
+  * **Sprinting:** Run fast for 30 sec → Walk for 60 sec → Repeat 10 rounds.
+  * **Bodyweight circuit:** 40 sec burpees → 20 sec rest → 40 sec push-ups → 20 sec rest → Repeat with squats, mountain climbers, planks.
+  * **Bike/Row/Step:** 20 sec max effort pedaling → 40 sec easy pedaling → Repeat 15–20 minutes.
+----
+==== Benefits of HIIT ====
+  * Burns a lot of calories in a short time.
+  * Increases metabolism for hours after (afterburn effect).
+  * Builds both **strength and cardio** fitness.
+  * Can be done anywhere with or without equipment.
+----
+==== When to Use HIIT ====
+  * Perfect if you only have **10–30 minutes** for exercise.
+  * Works best **2–4 times per week** (not every day – too intense).
+  * Combine with **strength training and daily NEAT** for best results.
+**HIIT = push hard for a short time, rest, repeat.**
+It is short, tough, and extremely effective.
