Cooldown and Recovery

Incorporate this HIIT session into your exercise routine to maximize your fat-burning potential and cardiovascular health. Use a workout planner to log the details of each session and your recovery. Support your training with a balanced diet, adequate rest, and consider daily vitamins for men or daily vitamins for women to replenish essential nutrients. Adjust the intensity and rest periods based on your body’s needs and fitness level.
