Okay, David, I will give that a shot. At the time of this post above, I was just starting out. Now I am more advanced. Thanks.

If you are going to get benefits from HIIT as advertised (increased resting metabolic rate, increased VO2 max, increased strength), you need to do real HIIT. What you are doing is not HIIT. You need for example: 30 seconds sprint, then 30-60 seconds very slow pace. This will be repeated 5-10 times.

You are getting some benefit from what you are doing, but believe me if you will do faster, shorter intervals you will see much better results.

LISS, never heard of that. I do agree with what you say about sprinters and runners.

HIIT is only short and it is high intensity. HIIT builds muscle it doesnt kill it. Cortisol kills muscle, and that is released in long distance running, or LISS.

Thats why sprinters are buff and marathon runners are very small.

I love it too. I prefer something more than just plain walking when I workout. Walking is good for me, but only when its to talk a stroll around the block.

I love HIIT. I can’t stand doing exercise for an hour at a time. Twenty minutes of sweating my ass off and I’m done…on with life. And it does a great job of burning fat and getting you fit quickly.

krillz - fast walking alternated with slow walking can work well…as long as the fast walking poses enough of a challenge to a person. Personally, fast walking wouldn’t give me the same workout as my recumbent bike.

Just my .02.

running/sprinting = muscle killer, seriously you know how much they have to think about while eating to not loose muscle mass.

Fast walking is the fat burner, if you’re not sure on what to do talk to your doctor.

The HITT training program has been my focus for the past couple years and I have gotten great results. I believe everyone should try it at least once as the results are worth it.
