http://ift.tt/2uEXQwk

HIIT—or High Intensity Interval Training, for the uninitiated—is one of the trendiest exercise programs out there at the moment, but getting started as a first-timer can be daunting, to say the least. (“High intensity” has a way of making a workout sound effective, but not necessarily so approachable.)

As part of our ongoing “Day 1" series demystifying the process of jumpstarting a new hobby or activity, we asked trainer Holly Rilinger for tips on approaching your very first HIIT class, including what to wear (hint: not running shoes!), how to give the teacher a heads up that you’re a beginner, and most importantly, a reminder that “nobody is looking at you.”
