HIIT: Short Workout, Maximum Benefits!
Fri, 26 Sep 2025Have you ever heard about HIIT, PRAMITA friends? It stands for High-Intensity Interval Training, a type of workout that’s perfect for those who want effective exercise in a short amount of time. HIIT is done with a combination of intense moves for a few seconds, followed by short rest periods. Even though it only lasts 15–20 minutes, the benefits can be amazing!
HIIT helps the body burn more calories—even after the workout is done. Not only that, this type of exercise also helps keep the heart rate healthy, supports weight loss, and even improves mood stability. Some studies also mention that HIIT can help control blood sugar levels and increase muscle mass, especially for those who are usually not very active.
You can do HIIT anywhere: at home, in the park, even in the bedroom! The moves are simple, like squats, burpees, jumping jacks, and sit-ups. But even though they look easy, this workout still requires preparation and the right technique.
When done proportionally and with good preparation, HIIT is safe. But don’t forget—HIIT also has its risks. If it’s done carelessly, especially without enough warm-up or with poor technique, it can lead to injuries. This is especially risky if there’s already a history of muscle or joint pain. This is where physiotherapy becomes important!
At PRAMITA, friends can consult and get physiotherapy services to help recover from sports-related injuries, including those from HIIT. PRAMITA physiotherapists are ready to evaluate muscle, joint, and body movements, then provide the right and safe recovery program.
For those who are just starting out with intense workouts like HIIT, it’s also a good idea to check your body condition first through a medical examination. Don’t let good intentions for a healthier lifestyle end up causing injuries!
Let’s stay active and smart in choosing the right kind of exercise! Combine your workout spirit with proper health monitoring together with PRAMITA.
