HIIT is an acronym, for High Intensity Interval Training.

It is a way to workout using minimum time and maximum reps to get a very quick yet strenuous set in. FI, I do morning HIIT's, which involves 3 sets of 20 pushups, with 10 second break in between. a 30 second break, then 3 sets of 20 dips with 10 second breaks. Another 30 second break, then 3 sets of 20 situp's with 10 second breaks. Although mine is modeled after the Tabata type training, it is still a HIIT routine, since it is all about intensity and high stress.

Hope that helps.

Yep, the basic hiit protocol is 30 seconds high intensity/30 seconds low intensity. So if you were running, you'd sprint 30 secs, jog 30 secs, sprint 30 secs, etc.
