Frequently Asked Questions
How many calories does HIIT burn?
HIIT (8.5 MET) burns about 595 calories per hour for a 70kg person. A 20-minute HIIT session burns about 200 calories. Additionally, HIIT causes EPOC (excess post-exercise oxygen consumption), burning extra calories for hours after exercise.
Does HIIT burn more calories than running?
Per minute, running (9.8 MET) burns slightly more than HIIT (8.5 MET). However, HIIT's afterburn effect (EPOC) can increase total calorie burn by 6-15% over the next 24 hours. HIIT also builds muscle, which increases resting metabolism.
How long should a HIIT session be?
Effective HIIT sessions last 15-30 minutes, including warm-up. Work intervals of 20-60 seconds at near-maximum effort followed by equal or double rest periods. Beginners should start with 15-minute sessions and gradually increase.
