When you start HIIT workouts, make modifications for your fitness level. Don't just take an advanced HIIT workout and push your body to the max on your first session. Ease into the training to reap the benefits and to lower your risk of injury. Watch your heart rate monitor and try to stick to your personal training zone. Skip the jumps or take a longer rest interval if your heart rate is too high.
