Conclusion
Instead of focusing on the length of the exercise routine, HIIT workouts focus on how hard you can exercise. The moves are highly effective for fat burn and muscle building.
The moves are a good alternative to standard cardio workouts but easier on joints, as the high-intensity exercise routine is broken up by rest periods.
When you combine the HIIT workout with your boxing routine, you’ll have a great physique within the short time; that you dream about.
