HIIT is essentially a cardio workout, but to achieve overall fitness, you will need to add a few strength training moves. Start your HIIT session with five to ten minutes of strength training in the weights section before moving on to a traditional HIIT workout. You may want to work your arms if your HIIT session focuses on your legs, and vice-versa.
