  • do you thik that p90x triggers the afterburn effect?

  • @JustKhali initially yes, but I have found that with P90x, many people end up overtraining a few weeks into the program and end up too sore, and with a high cortisol output. This is largely determined by your own personal recovery capacity, but at least for many women I have worked with, it ends up causing the reverse effect later on in the program. P90x works too much at once, and the central nervous system just can't handle that for very long.

  • they said that hiit does it (high intensity interval training)

  • @NikeSBNikka23 yes, I've talked about HIIT a lot in different videos, and on my blog. There is a very specific sequence of HIIT that I have found to work the best, and won't cause overtraining. Check out the rest of my videos for more info on that topic.

  • what workout would be best for a pre - afterburn trigger effect?

  • how do yo trigger it??? im like kinda slow........ like any example???

  • @ThaOneChrisJONES that has nothing to do with it. Muscle soreness is not related to metabolism or the afterburn effect. However, if you find that you are warmer the next day - that your core temperature has risen slightly, and your hunger has increased, these can be used as good signs that the after-burn effect has been stimulated.

  • @SavageJay23 30 minutes is too long, you don't need that much time. The key is INTENSITY not DURATION. working for a longer duration can actually cause the reverse effect by simulating cortisol output which would cause you to hold on to your fat stores. Work harder, for less time, and you will stimulate the afterburn effect.

  • @MultiPeople100 - what gives you that idea? It has absolutely nothing to do with how much belly fat you have.

  • @AndrewDaniele87 no, it wont untill youve lost all your belly fat
