This is known as the Afterburn Effect (also known as Excess Post-Exercise Oxygen Consumption (EPOC)). Here’s how it works: after working out at high intensity, your body needs to take in oxygen at a higher rate than it did pre-exercise so it can cool down, repair itself, and return to its resting state. This requires the body to work at a higher rate so it continues to burn calories. Reap the rewards of this super-efficient workout. Book your next HIIT class here!

You made it. Winter has finally passed (thank you Arya Stark) and you are one step closer to sunny beach days, rooftop happy hours, and sizzling barbecues.
