LIIT: The Gentle, Sustainable Way to Move Every Day

LIIT - low-intensity interval training - alternates easy and moderate movement. It is ideal for beginners, recovery days, or anyone with joint issues who still wants to move daily.

Why LIIT is powerful

  • Easier to stick to than high-intensity training.
  • Great for building the habit of consistent movement.
  • Burns fat over time with less strain on joints and lower injury risk.

When LIIT is ideal

  • Complete beginners returning to exercise.
  • People with joint pain, higher body weight, or post-injury rehab.
  • Active recovery days between harder sessions.

Example LIIT routine

  • 5-minute warm-up: marching in place, arm circles, light bodyweight squats.
  • 10–20 minutes alternating 2 minutes moderate (step-ups, wall push-ups, heel taps) with 1 minute easy.
  • 5-minute cool-down with gentle stretching.
