What’s the first activity that comes to mind when you hear the term cardio? Like most, you probably imagine a jog in the park or a session on the elliptical machine in the gym.

Whatever your reason is, you’re in the right place. We’ll break down HIIT today and go over its most notable benefits.

Plus, doesn’t cardio burn muscle and make us weak?

Indeed, cardio has been under some criticism, especially from strength-oriented athletes. But what if we were to tell you that cardio is an integral part of the equation, even if you primarily care about muscle growth.
