its all relative to what is intense for the person, i personally do not se any benefits with HIIT, i used to do this alot about one year ago and i started the notice pain in my hips and knees, better with a low intensity jogg and bodyweight training i think.
steve what will happen if after interval traning you go and sit in sauna for like 10 min will you burn more fat or kcal? sorry for bad english and thanks for your videos.
Steve, thanks so much for your videos. When I feel a little discouraged and need some weight loss inspiration, I check out a couple of your videos and I'm back on track. I do have a question though; I am 42 years young, 5'10" and weigh 165. I want to get down to 130. Does that sound like the right weight for my height?
@BodyPerformanceTV Yep, I'm a woman. :O) I've had people (mostly females) tell me I'd be too thin at 130 but I know that's the right weight for me. The muffin top has got to go. I think I just have to listen to the experts and as long as I'm eathing healthy, it's really nobody's business. Anyway it is sooooo hard to do this over 40! I'm working out way harder than I did in my twenties and thirties. Thank you Steve!!
@jennypicalo1 It is a bit harder when we're older. We don't realize it but we were probably a lot more active when we were younger as well. And we had fewer responsibilites and therefore less stress and more energy to exercise, etc. Keep watching what you eat (counting calories) since it's so much easier to not eat 300 calories than it is to exercie for 1 hour to burn 300 calories. Then at 5' 10" 130 you will be one knock out! If you aren't already! :O)

@zombiekicker Ok, be careful with that though, the bouncing up and down of extra weight in your pack as you run, could lead to joint and back problems.
You don't have to be "young" to do HIIT either. Tony Horton is doing it at 50 years old better than a lot of 30 year old can. Ex NHL star defenseman Chris Chelios added HIIT to his regimen and a trainer specializing in plyometrics to help him be effective at an older age (throughout his 40's) in one of the fastest professional sports leagues on the planet.
@zombiekicker Thats good, but you should reverse the intervals. Meaning that you would do 60 seconds of work at maximum rate, and 30 seconds of walking. Repeat this for 10 rounds, which should come out to a bit over 10 minutes.

question... If u workout at maxium intensity for five mins and stop for five for a total of 30 mins of maxium intensity cardio does that work the same? or do you have to break for a shorter periods for it to work better??

its very simple, if u want maximum result train on the maximum level of training, which means high intensitiy it will stress your body that much that your metabolism will gain, so therefore you gonna get muscles and loose fat, and get in good shape, you can use both by running and weightraining, which means do sprints and use heavy weights(only for healthy people)
I use many different methods to work out, but, HIIT has to be the most effective for me. I have a hereditary neurological disorder that effects my periphiral nervous system, if I work out every day it just makes my weaker. With the HIIT workout, I train 2-3 times a week for 10-30minutes and definitely see gains in strength, endurance and body composition, and it gives my body time to recover. The biggest benefit for me is I can really challenge myself each time I train, a challenge makes it fun.
@hmoob7 Ok, you are the king of Youtube, I will obey your commands. My post was well thought out, how do you consider it spam? I mean, If I was to post 30 posts on this subject that consisted of f*** y** , I think you may have a point. I guess you do not know the meaning of spam.
@tickyul Dude, I agree that HIIT is an awesome method of training, and I use it everyday, but spamming the same message on every HIIT video is annoying, turns away newcomers, and makes you sound like an advertisement for HIIT. The OP was informative the first time I read it. After the 5th time, I just wanted you to STFU.
@hmoob7 Spam is the sending of bulk, commercial, unsolicited messages to various outlets via electronic media. You are really serious, my one message on this video is going to stop people from watching this vid, that is really stupid. Like I said, you are the commander of Youtube, I guess I better obey your commands.....no matter how insane. Just ignore my posts, can your brainpower handle that task?
Actually svartaske, let me write it out to you later. It's complicated and long to write out,...but easy to remember and execute. I'll write you later about it O.K.
I've been doing Tabata training for 12 years now. My opinion, Tabata HIIT training is THEE best way to train and completely strengthen your cardio...and burn fat. I'm SO glad I learned Tabata then. It's just as exciting to perform as the week I learned it all back in Oct 1997. It will make you a great athlete on the playing field as well as in the gym. Go after it!!
Again I have a question brushfour, what's the difference between interval training and Tabata? Is it just the length/ratio of intervals? I've been doing 25 minutes (5 min warmup) of HIIT on an elliptical for a while. It's usually 30 second intervals at a decent resistance and I can get my HR up to 180bpm. It works well for me but I'm always looking for ways to maximize effectiveness.
Well Tababa IS interval training. It was one of the first from I know. To be exact it was called the Tabata Protocol. It was developed in Japan for the Japanese Olympic Speed skating team. I vary interval, rest times, and numbers of intervals. I do 2 weeks of 8 intervals at 20 on,--10 seconds rest. Then for 2 weeks move it to 10 intervals, 20 seconds on--10 seconds rest. For weeks 5,6..it's 7 X 45 second intervals with 30 seconds rest. Weeks 7,8 8 X 45 sec on..with 30 seconds rest...then...

Id choose an old fashioned boomstick, but if garlic chick peas work for you. And Im talking I Am Legend style vampires. Sounds like a decent method of making hummus though. Ill bring the pita. We will have to wash the blood off though, or risk infection. Hmmm...Post apocolyptic business idea. Vampiric hummus. Thanks man. If you avoid infection, we can be partners.
And why do anything for a set time limit? It seems more productive to burn out, rest briefly, and try to burn out again. Set time limits allow people to stop when they might have been capable of more, and as the time limit grows shorter, so does the bodies desire to go all out. The same way you only really hurt to relieve yourself when the rest stop is in sight, although you have struggled to hold it in for a long time.
The physically fit test question: Would you survive on a post apocolyptic earth infested by super-human mutant vampires? The day will come. Will you be prepared?
I've been doing HIIT cardio for 11 years now. You build the intensity over time. You coax it along. If you build, peak, and then switch interval duration and rest periods, you can build and increase without any sort of plateauing effect. God I've been increasing slightly and steadily for 11 years. I can't believe the peaks I'm able to hit nowdays. I only do it ONCE a week however. Read up on the Tabata Protocol. HIIT training for Olympic Speed Skaters.Very long study. You point is interesting.
What he doesn`t mention is that the studies were all very short and even then positive improvements from HIIT were only achieved in the first few weeks.
Doing it longer will only lead to platueau and burnout.
Also, the reason you shouldn`t do them more than twice a week is because high intensity training can undo aerobic adaptations that were achieved with lower intensity stuff. So while some HIIT can give you an edge, doing too much of it can make you less fit.
" Telephone intervals." Interesting idea. Sounds like a fun way to break it up. I don't like doing intervals on some machines. For instance,...the rower. I feel trapped while doing intervals on that machine. Like if I get too tired during the interval, I'll quit and collapse the entire workout right there. With anything else, I can just ease up a bit, but feel like I'm still completing the intervals with good intensity.
I do HIIT once a week. Really that's all you need. If you want to do it at full capacity you need rest before the HIIT workout, and days of rest afterwards. You'll hit higher peaks then. Any other cardio I do during the week is maybe a 1 short less intense steady state aerobic session, and then walking. The ONE hard HIIT cardio workout will do a ton for you. Read up on Tabata Protocol. Some of the best research on HIIT training came out of Japan. Some of the highest VO 2 max's ever recorded.
Read an article yesterday about HIIT concluding (based on a study) that limiting the intense phase of your training to 15 seconds or below will keep you aerobic throughout your workout.
i.e. Shorter bursts, more fat burn, less muscle fatigue.
Not sure I'm sold on it yet but it makes a bit of sense.
Gah I'm kind of scared to do HIIT now because of reading the comment below about if you go too fast, your heart can't handle it and you will have a heart attack?! is that true? I have only done HIIT 2 days and when I am going all out, I feel like my legs are going to melt to the ground (i use an elliptical) and my heart is literally pounding like about 200BPM (im 22y/o F) But I mean, I feel ok! UGH - now i'm gunna freak out when when I do HIIT. :-( Should I?
Hey guys i think i need some help on my hiit trianing so this is what i do. i warm up 5 min on 3.5 only a 4 incline (on scale of 0- 12) then i do 1 min of running at 7.6 then walking at 3.4, then i do 30, 30s for 10 more miniuts I then go on a bike and do hill interval on lvl 15, is this an okay hiit program and i am also overweight but athleticlly built so if this isnt okay please tell me the right way thankyou
Chrisy, after you've completed your weekly HIIT, say one day of HIIT, if you need to burn extra calories, just go for a few nice walks. The walks will help you repair your body from your HIIT workout, and burn some nice fat calories as well. It's also good for your digestive system to walk, and it's sort of good meditation for the mind. Maybe you can even prepare yourself mentally for your next weeks HIIT workout. Walking (for me) also gets my appetite under control.
I do HIIT only once per week. That's really all you need to do. It's more then enough to improve your cardiovascular system into a more efficient fat burner. Because HIIT is so intense, you can ONLY do it briefly. If you're going longer...you're overtraining, or not doing HIIT. I do 5 minute warm up, 5 minute steady state (moderate), 5 minute easy...and then BAM, the high intense intervals period. (5-12 minutes) depending on how many and how long the intervals are. Then 5 minute cool down.
I heard that doing HIIT can sometimes be bad. If your heart rate goes too high it can break down more muscle. Is this true and if so what is the optimum heart rate? Thanks.
Your maximum heart rate depends on alot of things. You want to maintain your maximum heart rate, but only for a short period of time. When your heart is under more stress than it can handle, you will have a heart attack. HIIT is used, because it increases the reserve capacity of the heart, therefore preparing yourself for situations in which you have to use up alot of oxygen and whatever.
It makes NO difference. Jog whenever you like. Weight loss and fitness don't occur at any particular time. It's an accumulation of activity and good eating over time. I'm much stronger and more energetic in the evenings!
Hey I have a question. This type of training appears to train the fast twitch fibers.. but I don´t understand how can that be possible since to train those fibers.. you need to execute fast reaction bursts.. like sprinting for few seconds..
Does sprinting for 2 minutes really helps your muscles to contract fast? Much apreciated
Hi Steve, When I jog late at night I find that I have "vastly" more energy than when I jog in the mornings. At night I can jog up to an hour but daytime I find that I am struggling after the first 20mins, my muscles/joints ache more and I have far less energy. I've spaced meal times evenly before day/night jogs but it makes no difference. So I love night jogging, but are the daytime jogs more effective for fat loss since they are harder or are night jogs, since I can jog for much much longer?
hi i was just wondering if its a good idea to do an hour of interval training. I spend 3 days a week on weight training to build muscle (1 hour workouts) and on my off days i want to do interval training about 3 days a week to burn body fat but is 1 hour too much or should i do 20-30 minutes of interval training 3 days a week. or if there is another format which is better?
There is nothing wrong with an hour of interval training although you have to be in very good shape to do that. You might have better luck mixing it up. Longer periods of easier cardio and then on different days shorter periods 20 minutes of more intense interval training.
Yes but the best way to build muscle is to train a bit slower so you're not out of breath. This will allow you to train harder and handle heavier weight.
One program created in Australia was the 8sec hard,12sec easy Done for 20 mins.Add five min warm up and five min cooldown to the ends of the 20mins.Highly effective.Please try.
You could test yourse;f with any distance. Even a 1/2-1 mile would be fine. If it's getting easier and you're doing it quicker you're getting in better shape.
please help me.. does this type of training helps to develop fast twitch muscles fiber? and how much time does it take to recover from which session of interval training? more than 2 days?
yep yep.. I have lost 2stone and 90% of my cardio involves HIIT It's brilliant. I can be on a stationary bike half the time of the guy next to me and burn twice as many Cals. I swear by it. It increases your resting metabolic rate also, so you keep burning fat long after you finish your cardio.
Quick question.. When I am out doing my two miles or 1.7 miles that I walk I sprint as far as I can then walkjob.. and I keep doing that. But it is not see thing that I do. Is that ok for HIIT .
Steve! Steve! Steve! Steve! I'm on vid #3 and this is gonna be one of my faves. It reminds me of the scene in Pumping Iron when they go to the restaurant and order the whole menu between the few of them! Big Muscle = Big Calorie/Fat Burning. After I lost my weight I started "pomping za iron yawh". When you look good, you feel good. When you feel good, you can do amazing things.
This might be a stupid question but because i also do weights and need alot of carbs/protein etc is it possible to lose fat while on a high carbs/protein and low fat?
Yep it sure would. Anything that makes it more difficult. Faster pace, less rest, greater ferequency, greater incline, etc. or a combination of any of these.
Either is fine for results but I would do them on different days just from an energy stand point. You could also do more casual cardio on the days you lift and HIIT on the off days.
Should i do HIIT on the same day as weights or opposite days.
the way i was thinking was by doing it on same day as weights i might not have enough energy to push out 100% on the sprints and by doing it oon opposite days my body might not recover what do u think?
One thing I'd like for you to mention, which I think is valid, is that you this is not a way to cheat and do less cardio. You still have to do a least 20-30 min every day. Thats how I keep it up.
HIIT would improve your cardio more than 30 mintues of casual cardio. Or you could do 20-30 mintues of cardio at a faster pass. Anything that stresses your system will improve it.
Yes it helps the aerobic system and it's better at improving the cardiovascular system and an easy 30 mintues. It can be done as many times a week as you like. Once a day. You can do a combination of both during the week.
The body has to be continually stressed and challenged to keep it growing. It's a combination of rep ranges, amount of weight used, exercises, rest, eating, etc. Plus, people seem to forget that muscular gains and increases in strength are slow and take time.
I used 8-12 reps for bench, lat pulls, deadlifts, and squats before. i got bigger and stronger but then results stopped coming. I'm now doing 1-5 reps with squats, bench, pull ups, and deadlifts for a several weeks now. my PRs has gone up, but i'm not really gaining mass. is it too soon to come to a conclusion that 1-5 reps wont build mass? but only strength?
Yes, it burns a higher % of sugar than fat. (Protein is not burned.) BUT the very intense cardio causes a large deficit of glucose and glycogen. This causes an after burn causing the liver to convert body fat to glucose and glycogen. This is typically the intense body heat that reoccurs AFTER you initially cool off!
HIT burns fat calories but I think it burns more calories from sugar and protein too than being in a lower HR zone for burning a higher % of fat and retaining more muscle. Could you comment on this Steve? Thanks.
Your muscles need at least one day rest in between such intense training! Do it every other day for healthy results. (WebMD and experts say Interval Training should be done 3 days a week)
2 exercises per body part. 3 warm-up sets & then 3 working sets for each exercise. You might not need to do as many warm-ups as the workout progresses. Keep your reps at 8-10. Don't go to failure. But go heavy enough so the last few reps are difficult to complete. Do this for few months & then we can again restructure your workouts.
After say 15 seconds you may not be able to run as fast but you can still put in 100% effort. Just that 100% effort may not translate to the same speed it was when you started
Weightlifting doesn't burn fat? Try doing some high intensity 20 rep squats to parallel. Where does the energy come from to power that exercise? Also major coupound lifts naturally secrete GH-a very powerful fat burner.
Also-try doing a weight lifting circuit with little rest between sets. Do this three times per week. Watch the fat come off.
Doing weights and Interval training is very different! Interval training is actually a better replacement for cardio exercises cos Interval training burns sugar while exercising and burns fat and increases your metabolic rate for the next 24-48 hours! Cardio workouts burns fat and more calories during the exercises, but you stop burning fat once you're done and your metabolic rate slows down thus you burn less calories the next day, unlike Interval Training!
You won't burn fat lifting weights regardless of how you do it. Best to keep your rep range around 8-10. This allows you to handle heavier weight which causes maximum muscle growth. And then do cardio to burn fat. If necessary you can cut your calories a bit too.
First off, great videos! Thanx for putting them up! I want to start HIIT using barbell complexes to burn fat. My question is what should my rep range be? Is it better to do high reps or low reps to burn fat? THANX
Steve, is there a way i can do this with weights, like lift something that i can only rep like 5 times for 5 sets? I"ve been trying everything and muscle confusion, for some reason unless i take a week or more off from the gym, i don't feel any burn in my muscles. I haven't gained mass since i was 16 and i'm 20 now. I tried those diets about eating like crazy, and i just got a little fatter. Ur other vid says you dont' need to eat that much for mass. I work out with weights 4 times a week.
1) You don't need a burn in the muscle to make it grow. 2) Muscle grow from intense musclar contractions not muscle confusion. 3) This means you need to train consistently and intensely. 4) Try 2-3 exercises per body part, with a total of 9-11 working set sof 6-10 reps.
do u mean 9-11 sets a body part? Right now i stopped doing total body workouts, and I do chest/triceps, Legs on another day, Back/ Biceps/ Lower back another day.. All of my exercises i do 6-10 reps with 4-5 sets. 2 exercises a body part.. Last week i repped 185lbs 6 times on my bench, this week i was able to do 195 lbs 9 times. Being that i got stronger, does this mean muscle growth? My shoulder sometimes gives me pain when i lift heavy, is it necessary that i increase weight every week?
Holy crap, that's impressive! Try them both. Both will work. Also, mix in easier cardio for longer periods of time. This will burn fat as well and keep you from burning out.
Steve,my treadmill does not go faster than 10 mph at which I do four one minute intervalls with two minute rests in between.Which would be the best way to increase the intensity of the workou?Longer intervalls?shorter rest periods?My primary goal is fat loss.Thanks!
To lose your belly 1) Decrease the quantity of the foods you eat by 1/4 2) Interval traing is good 3) Add some periods of LONGER cardio that are less intense. 4) Wait until you lose some fat before you try doing lots of situps. It will be easier when you don't have as much fat in the way. Plus you will be lighter!
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE high HIIT, i thought it was called burst training, anyways i lost 3lbs on my first week doing it by running! i'll never have to walk an hour a day anymore!
No, it is no the same. Swimmers are not that musclar as compared to weight lifters since swimming is not as intense ANAEROBICALLY. Swimming doesn't contract the muscles as intensely as weight lifting.
So STeve if i do HIIT by swimming will it be almost the same if i did heavey intense weight training?? IS that the reason why 100m,200m swimmers are so muscular??
HIT works, but it is extremely intense. The key word is INTENSE. None of this 1 set of curls for 10, kick back for 4 minutes, talk to some friends, etc, then go back to curling. That is NOT INTENSE. Read the Colorado experiment or look it up.
i do this and it works.... mix running with pushups.... its awesome... you actually gain muscle and lose fat... run fast for 30 seconds and then do as many pushups as you can and continue this until you cant do more.... warm up first with a ligh run....
Assuming your not being sarcastic, I'll answer your question on a serious note. NO. In general, genetics, what you eat and how you work out,progressive resistance, will determine how big you can get. That doesn't mean you can't get in impressive shape, it just means that you probably won't end up looking like the "incredible hulk", but still, you can build yourself up.
its true, i think there should be some rule on youtube that deletes a video under a certain amount of views after a certain time, just so there is no wasted space

its very simple, if u want maximum result train on the maximum level of training, which means high intensitiy it will stress your body that much that your metabolism will gain, so therefore you gonna get muscles and loose fat, and get in good shape, you can use both by running and weightraining, which means do sprints and use heavy weights(only for healthy people)

I use many different methods to work out, but, HIIT has to be the most effective for me. I have a hereditary neurological disorder that effects my periphiral nervous system, if I work out every day it just makes my weaker. With the HIIT workout, I train 2-3 times a week for 10-30minutes and definitely see gains in strength, endurance and body composition, and it gives my body time to recover. The biggest benefit for me is I can really challenge myself each time I train, a challenge makes it fun.

ConAF 2 years ago
I've been doing Tabata training for 12 years now. My opinion, Tabata HIIT training is THEE best way to train and completely strengthen your cardio...and burn fat. I'm SO glad I learned Tabata then. It's just as exciting to perform as the week I learned it all back in Oct 1997. It will make you a great athlete on the playing field as well as in the gym. Go after it!!
brushfour 2 years ago
Again I have a question brushfour, what's the difference between interval training and Tabata? Is it just the length/ratio of intervals? I've been doing 25 minutes (5 min warmup) of HIIT on an elliptical for a while. It's usually 30 second intervals at a decent resistance and I can get my HR up to 180bpm. It works well for me but I'm always looking for ways to maximize effectiveness.
svartaske 2 years ago
Well Tababa IS interval training. It was one of the first from I know. To be exact it was called the Tabata Protocol. It was developed in Japan for the Japanese Olympic Speed skating team. I vary interval, rest times, and numbers of intervals. I do 2 weeks of 8 intervals at 20 on,--10 seconds rest. Then for 2 weeks move it to 10 intervals, 20 seconds on--10 seconds rest. For weeks 5,6..it's 7 X 45 second intervals with 30 seconds rest. Weeks 7,8 8 X 45 sec on..with 30 seconds rest...then...

burd1234 2 years ago
And why do anything for a set time limit? It seems more productive to burn out, rest briefly, and try to burn out again. Set time limits allow people to stop when they might have been capable of more, and as the time limit grows shorter, so does the bodies desire to go all out. The same way you only really hurt to relieve yourself when the rest stop is in sight, although you have struggled to hold it in for a long time.

I've been doing HIIT cardio for 11 years now. You build the intensity over time. You coax it along. If you build, peak, and then switch interval duration and rest periods, you can build and increase without any sort of plateauing effect. God I've been increasing slightly and steadily for 11 years. I can't believe the peaks I'm able to hit nowdays. I only do it ONCE a week however. Read up on the Tabata Protocol. HIIT training for Olympic Speed Skaters.Very long study. You point is interesting.
brushfour 2 years ago
What he doesn`t mention is that the studies were all very short and even then positive improvements from HIIT were only achieved in the first few weeks.
Doing it longer will only lead to platueau and burnout.
Also, the reason you shouldn`t do them more than twice a week is because high intensity training can undo aerobic adaptations that were achieved with lower intensity stuff. So while some HIIT can give you an edge, doing too much of it can make you less fit.
paolo27th 2 years ago
" Telephone intervals." Interesting idea. Sounds like a fun way to break it up. I don't like doing intervals on some machines. For instance,...the rower. I feel trapped while doing intervals on that machine. Like if I get too tired during the interval, I'll quit and collapse the entire workout right there. With anything else, I can just ease up a bit, but feel like I'm still completing the intervals with good intensity.

I do HIIT once a week. Really that's all you need. If you want to do it at full capacity you need rest before the HIIT workout, and days of rest afterwards. You'll hit higher peaks then. Any other cardio I do during the week is maybe a 1 short less intense steady state aerobic session, and then walking. The ONE hard HIIT cardio workout will do a ton for you. Read up on Tabata Protocol. Some of the best research on HIIT training came out of Japan. Some of the highest VO 2 max's ever recorded.
brushfour 2 years ago
Read an article yesterday about HIIT concluding (based on a study) that limiting the intense phase of your training to 15 seconds or below will keep you aerobic throughout your workout.
i.e. Shorter bursts, more fat burn, less muscle fatigue.
Not sure I'm sold on it yet but it makes a bit of sense.

kh123 2 years ago
Chrisy, after you've completed your weekly HIIT, say one day of HIIT, if you need to burn extra calories, just go for a few nice walks. The walks will help you repair your body from your HIIT workout, and burn some nice fat calories as well. It's also good for your digestive system to walk, and it's sort of good meditation for the mind. Maybe you can even prepare yourself mentally for your next weeks HIIT workout. Walking (for me) also gets my appetite under control.
brushfour 2 years ago
I do HIIT only once per week. That's really all you need to do. It's more then enough to improve your cardiovascular system into a more efficient fat burner. Because HIIT is so intense, you can ONLY do it briefly. If you're going longer...you're overtraining, or not doing HIIT. I do 5 minute warm up, 5 minute steady state (moderate), 5 minute easy...and then BAM, the high intense intervals period. (5-12 minutes) depending on how many and how long the intervals are. Then 5 minute cool down.

You only want to do HIIT for 10-15 minutes, but no more than 20. Anymore than that could put too much stress on your heart.
jreily88 2 years ago
Your maximum heart rate depends on alot of things. You want to maintain your maximum heart rate, but only for a short period of time. When your heart is under more stress than it can handle, you will have a heart attack. HIIT is used, because it increases the reserve capacity of the heart, therefore preparing yourself for situations in which you have to use up alot of oxygen and whatever.

Hey I have a question. This type of training appears to train the fast twitch fibers.. but I don´t understand how can that be possible since to train those fibers.. you need to execute fast reaction bursts.. like sprinting for few seconds..

Hi Steve, When I jog late at night I find that I have "vastly" more energy than when I jog in the mornings. At night I can jog up to an hour but daytime I find that I am struggling after the first 20mins, my muscles/joints ache more and I have far less energy. I've spaced meal times evenly before day/night jogs but it makes no difference. So I love night jogging, but are the daytime jogs more effective for fat loss since they are harder or are night jogs, since I can jog for much much longer?

I spend 3 days a week on weight training to build muscle (1 hour workouts) and on my off days i want to do interval training about 3 days a week to burn body fat but is 1 hour too much or should i do 20-30 minutes of interval training 3 days a week. or if there is another format which is better?
jimid19 2 years ago
There is nothing wrong with an hour of interval training although you have to be in very good shape to do that. You might have better luck mixing it up. Longer periods of easier cardio and then on different days shorter periods 20 minutes of more intense interval training.
BodyPerformanceTV 2 years ago
Yes but the best way to build muscle is to train a bit slower so you're not out of breath. This will allow you to train harder and handle heavier weight.

The body has to be continually stressed and challenged to keep it growing. It's a combination of rep ranges, amount of weight used, exercises, rest, eating, etc. Plus, people seem to forget that muscular gains and increases in strength are slow and take time.

Pulits 3 years ago
Yes, it burns a higher % of sugar than fat. (Protein is not burned.) BUT the very intense cardio causes a large deficit of glucose and glycogen. This causes an after burn causing the liver to convert body fat to glucose and glycogen. This is typically the intense body heat that reoccurs AFTER you initially cool off!
BodyPerformanceTV 3 years ago
HIT burns fat calories but I think it burns more calories from sugar and protein too than being in a lower HR zone for burning a higher % of fat and retaining more muscle. Could you comment on this Steve? Thanks.

Mon- Chest, Triceps & Bis
Tues- Shoulders, Back & Legs
Wed- Off
Thurs- Chest, Triceps & Bis
Friday- Shoulders, Back & Legs
Sat & Sun - Off
2 exercises per body part. 3 warm-up sets & then 3 working sets for each exercise. You might not need to do as many warm-ups as the workout progresses. Keep your reps at 8-10. Don't go to failure. But go heavy enough so the last few reps are difficult to complete. Do this for few months & then we can again restructure your workouts.

Weightlifting doesn't burn fat? Try doing some high intensity 20 rep squats to parallel. Where does the energy come from to power that exercise? Also major coupound lifts naturally secrete GH-a very powerful fat burner.
Also-try doing a weight lifting circuit with little rest between sets. Do this three times per week. Watch the fat come off.

weightlifting burns sugar, not fat.
bwones 3 years ago
Doing weights and Interval training is very different! Interval training is actually a better replacement for cardio exercises cos Interval training burns sugar while exercising and burns fat and increases your metabolic rate for the next 24-48 hours! Cardio workouts burns fat and more calories during the exercises, but you stop burning fat once you're done and your metabolic rate slows down thus you burn less calories the next day, unlike Interval Training!
maldiven 3 years ago
that does it, im subscribing.
theophilis 3 years ago 2
You won't burn fat lifting weights regardless of how you do it. Best to keep your rep range around 8-10. This allows you to handle heavier weight which causes maximum muscle growth. And then do cardio to burn fat. If necessary you can cut your calories a bit too.

I haven't gained mass since i was 16 and i'm 20 now. I tried those diets about eating like crazy, and i just got a little fatter. Ur other vid says you dont' need to eat that much for mass. I work out with weights 4 times a week.
imadebobie 3 years ago
1) You don't need a burn in the muscle to make it grow. 2) Muscle grow from intense musclar contractions not muscle confusion. 3) This means you need to train consistently and intensely. 4) Try 2-3 exercises per body part, with a total of 9-11 working set sof 6-10 reps.
BodyPerformanceTV 3 years ago
do u mean 9-11 sets a body part? Right now i stopped doing total body workouts, and I do chest/triceps, Legs on another day, Back/ Biceps/ Lower back another day.. All of my exercises i do 6-10 reps with 4-5 sets. 2 exercises a body part.. Last week i repped 185lbs 6 times on my bench, this week i was able to do 195 lbs 9 times. Being that i got stronger, does this mean muscle growth? My shoulder sometimes gives me pain when i lift heavy, is it necessary that i increase weight every week?

Holy crap, that's impressive! Try them both. Both will work. Also, mix in easier cardio for longer periods of time. This will burn fat as well and keep you from burning out.

To lose your belly 1) Decrease the quantity of the foods you eat by 1/4 2) Interval traing is good 3) Add some periods of LONGER cardio that are less intense. 4) Wait until you lose some fat before you try doing lots of situps. It will be easier when you don't have as much fat in the way. Plus you will be lighter!

30 sec 100, 30 sec 70, 30 sec 100, 45 sec 70, 45 sec 100, 45 sec 60, 45 sec 100, 1 min 60, 1 min 100, 1 min 70, 45 sec 100, 30 sec 70, 30 sec 100, 45 sec 70, 2 min 50% cooldown.
It's been very effective for me.

Who said it was? We're talking about cardio, not weight training.

HIT works, but it is extremely intense. The key word is INTENSE. None of this 1 set of curls for 10, kick back for 4 minutes, talk to some friends, etc, then go back to curling. That is NOT INTENSE. Read the Colorado experiment or look it up.

i do this and it works.... mix running with pushups.... its awesome... you actually gain muscle and lose fat... run fast for 30 seconds and then do as many pushups as you can and continue this until you cant do more.... warm up first with a ligh run....

Plz can you anwser this question. Is it possible for me to get as big as a bodybuilder on steroids.
coke14monster 3 years ago
No. Nobody can. BUT you can get very strong and much bigger if you train hard, correcly and consistently.

Assuming your not being sarcastic, I'll answer your question on a serious note. NO. In general, genetics, what you eat and how you work out,progressive resistance, will determine how big you can get. That doesn't mean you can't get in impressive shape, it just means that you probably won't end up looking like the "incredible hulk", but still, you can build yourself up.

Your video series is simply one of the best on YouTube, which is sadly getting more and more filled with crap.
Good job.

its true, i think there should be some rule on youtube that deletes a video under a certain amount of views after a certain time, just so there is no wasted space

You need walking. And most of all your caloric intake is most important.

Steve is ignorant. HIIT does NOT burn many calories.
All you need is a few sprints.
MarkSuarezMDPhD 3 years ago
Sprinting IS HIGH INTENSITY TRAINING..........doctor!
BodyPerformanceTV 3 years ago
Yes it does, most of your calorie burning is during recovery. So...doc, what's your PhD in, exactly?
