High Intensity Interval Training or HIIT is a type of cardio where you exercise at a high intensity for about 60 to 90 seconds, rest, and then go right back to the HIIT.
This type of training is more advanced, but, with modifications, can be done by others who aren't as conditioned. HITT has it's advantages because the afterburn calorie effect lasts longer than after traditional cardio.
It's hard for some people to get the concept of HIIT on their own, so I always recommend Chalene Johnson's Turbo Fire. It is based on HIIT and there is always someone modifying the exercises for you. You can find it on the "Featured Fitness Program" page on my blog at http://teenfaithandbeauty.com.

Hi Shelly. You can also find out more about this method of training by visiting the Human Kinetics website for books on the subject. Without making any personal endorsement, there are books such as 'High-Intensity Training," by Philbin that will help explain this training concept.
Good luck!
