High-intensity interval (or Intermittent) training (HIIT) is a form of interval training, alternating short periods of intense anaerobic exercise with less intense recovery periods while steady state cardio is a steady continuous cardio workout. It’s important to incorporate both forms of exercise to your routine to mix things up and get the heart rate pumping.
