Today we are going to cover High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT). You've probably heard about HIIT a lot these days because it is being used in a lot of programs for fat loss. Smart trainers know that it is much more effective than regular slow, boring cardio, and you actually get results as compared to other cardio workouts where you aren't seeing any results at all.

So HIIT means any type of sprint exercise that lasts from about 0-90 seconds. Anything longer than 2 minutes can get into what is known as aerobic interval training. Therefore, normally you want to sprint for 15, 30 or even 45 seconds, after which time you go down to a very easy period of exercise. That is one of the biggest mistakes most people make when doing interval training. Many people don't drop the intensity down low enough during the recovery period.

For example, if you are going at 10 mph and you only drop down to 8 mph then in effect you're really still doing cardio and not high intensity interval training. You will not allow you body to sufficiently recover from the sprint portion and so you won't be able to sprint hard at 10 mph the next time around.

So, you want to make sure you are going from hard to easy, or going from a sprint to a walk. It is okay to walk in interval training as this will allow you to work really hard and thus provide you with all the benefits of HIIT.

Here is an example of a high intensity interval training workout. Start out with a 5-10 minute warm-up and then jump into a high intensity interval where you can't possibly maintain a pace longer than 30-45 seconds. After 45 seconds, take the intensity down to a very low recovery walking pace. It doesn't matter if you are sprinting at 8, 10 or 12 mph, you still need to come down to the walking pace. That would classify as one interval, and you will do about 6 in a workout, finishing with a cooldown.

That is high intensity interval training, and it will get you more results in terms of your fat loss program and in sport specific conditioning, as well as fitter for everyday activities.

  • This is how I do my HIIT:

    I start running at 97.5 mph for two and a half hours.

    Then I sprint at 35 mph for four hours.

    I repeat this 400,050 times.

    Total workout time: 4.2 seconds.

  • Very clear tutorial, thx.

  • Honestly high intensity interval training is the best way to lose fat but also gain a little bit of muscle too. I have been doing a slightly higher intensity circuit for about a month and i have lost 10 lb but have increased my strength for all my exercises too. Its a hard workout but it is the fastest way to get into beast mode.

    

  • Lol during my recovery period i get off the machine and walk

  • Fat-loss:95%diet. Proper exercise maintains muscle, no exercise does much for fat-loss. HIIT's high-impact,bad for the out of shape & overweight, an aerobic/anaerobic compromise, not optimal for muscle. HighIntensity(Weight)Training'­s low impact & more flexible to condition of the subject. The exercises build muscle & keeping breaks short condition the aerobic & metabolic systems. A properly done 30min session feels like you ran the whole time, without impact, without muscle wasting.

  • @fitprokinetics just going around in circles now too thick and stubborn goodbye, and im "trying to sound intelligent", fuck sorry for speaking english then.

    and it is better for burning fat? thick as a brick if that's even possible mate dont reply back because i wont answer kbai

  • @hunkyjelly My original concern with the video was with the claim that it is "better" for BURNING FAT, NOT with the other things you just mentioned which are true... quit trying to sound smart by changing the subject with semantics! Your point was that it simply "is proven to work better", and I asked for whom, and you could not give an intelligent reply back. If you can verify your claim through proof of a scientific journal, then I will take you seriously... otherwise, this is the end! Thanks

  • @fitprokinetics Ive posted a link on your channel, i really hope you read it

  • @fitprokinetics can you put up some research that proves otherwise? and me going to college or uni doesnt correlate between the results LOL

  • @fitprokinetics what's your problem now? ive agreed with you that yes interval training isn't for everyone. and yes the facts are true, interval training consistently proves it is better than cardio for increasing your V02 max, increasiing your lactate threshold, lowering your BP, improving your vascular endurance. QUICKER than boring cardio.

    i cant send you a website link :/

  • @hunkyjelly OMG! This is your evidence? Google it? Have you ever been to College or University? You obviously DON'T know all the facts... I'm not an amateur, and you're ignorance is frustrating! Please educate your self before replying back!
