What is HIIT?
High-intensity interval training, shortened as HIIT, is considered the top effective method to burn belly fat, increase metabolism and improve your figure.
According to Dr. Jason Karp, a physiologist at the American Council on Exercise: HIIT helps boost metabolism and burn visceral fat, especially in the abdomen where the most visceral fat accumulates.
HIIT is a short-term form of high-intensity exercise, combined with short breaks. With just 20-30 minutes a day, you can achieve the same or even superior fat burning effect as an hour-long cardio workout.
Here are 15 simple HIIT exercises to help you quickly get a toned waist:
Squat jumps: Strengthen your legs, helping to tone your lower abdomen.
Jumping tons to change legs: Combine strength and balance, effectively burn calories.
Russian twist: Impact on the reciices and waist.
Running to raise your knees: Burns belly fat, increases heart rate.
Plank jack: Plank while jumping helps tighten the abdominal muscles.
Mountain climber): Full-body workout, especially effective with the lower abdomen.
Bicycle crunches: Increase the effectiveness of affecting the upper and lower abdominal muscles.
Box jumping: Improve jumping power, helping the thigh and abdominal muscles work strongly.
hip flexor plank: Helps create a waist curve and tighten the abs on both sides.
Burpee: The most energetic full-body exercise in HIIT.
Strengthen your arms and shoulders, tighten your abs.
Warm Weightlifting: This exercise helps focus on the hips and lower abdomen.
Sprinting water bicycles: High-intensity cycling combined with recovery, very effective for people who do not like to run.
Speed Sliding: Jumping across helps tone the buttocks, thighs and waist.

Just 20 minutes of HIIT a day, you can still burn fat effectively throughout the day after, says fitness trainer Rachel Straub, co-author of the book Weight Training Without Injury.
However, HIIT is not suitable for beginners or people with cardiovascular problems. Start slowly, pay attention to warming up thoroughly and choose the exercise that suits your physical condition. HIIT only maximizes its effectiveness when combined with a healthy diet, adequate sleep and stress reduction.
