High-intensity interval training (HIIT)

High-intensity interval training (HIIT) has been increasingly popular in recent years. HIIT workouts are based on intense bursts of energy over a short period.

According to research, high-intensity interval training (HIIT) can enhance blood pressure and metabolism.

A HIIT stationary bike workout may consist of the following:

  • Warm up for 5 minutes with low resistance and medium speed.
  • Pedal with light resistance but great intensity for 30 seconds. Followed by 30 seconds of easy pedaling. Repeat the pattern five times.
  • Cycle at a medium intensity for 5 minutes.
  • Pedal with strong resistance and low cadence for 30 seconds. Followed by 30 seconds of easy pedaling. Repeat the pattern five times.
  • Finish with a 5-minute cooldown.

It is critical to maintain a high heart rate during HIIT training.


People can tailor this type of activity to their fitness levels. A good workout, regardless of fitness level or goals, should be both enjoyable and sustainable.

It is also essential to listen to the signals from your body and take breaks as needed.
