HIIT is High Intensity Interval Training. I did this workout on my old squeaky treadmill this morning.

  • dude, you should only do 10 minutes of HIIT. Do one minute of running, then one minute of walking. Repeat this 5 times, and increase your speed each interval. I'm not a fitness expert or anything, I'm just telling you what some of the most physically fit and healthy people on the planet have told me.

  • It really depends on intensity level. For what I did in this video, the intensity wasn't that high. For the 90-100% intensity you really should limit duration as you say.

    For higher intensity check out Tabata work outs. I have a recent video on Tabata (push ups) which takes the high intensity level to 100% and takes just 4 minutes to complete, rests included.

  • If sprinting exhausts you for the rest of the day where you rest (therefore limiting calorie expenditure) OR makes you ravenously hungry later on it is no good.

    This is the downside, that plus the low caloric expenditure.

  • You need to post some videos laying out your beliefs. Good discussion.

  • Adding muscle will only burn 6 more calories per pound per day

  • Not much, but I'll take it ; )

  • @JAYFARRELL31 Well I'm not a physical doctor, but doing HIIT is somewhat good, you burn about triple or so of regular exercise but some say you should only do about 10 minutes to 30 minutes because you'll also burn muscle so I guess in a way it's up to you, if you want to also be burning muscle, I know for guys we shouldn't but if your serious about losing fat then HIIT is way to go.

  • what's the best way to lose a belly and lose weight fast? (if you're willing to give 5-6 hours a day) is it circuits?intervals?will you lose weight faster if you do 2 hours of intevals?

  • Lisagirl these are very interesting points you are making, I have even heard that if you walk on a treadmill to a certain heart rate rather than you burn muscle you burn fat.....so are you saying that HIIT training is not good?? and are you saying walking is much better??

  • Wannabe fitness expert. You know absolute shit so fuck off already

  • okay, you're right.
