High Intensity Interval Training: Fat Loss
Continued from HIIT and Fat Burning. In plain English, your body takes such a thrashing during High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) it’s forced to ransack fat reserves for the energy it needs to recuperate — even while you sleep.
Example: After a warm-up, which should include several sub-intense work intervals, a fit person runs eight, 30-second intervals at 12 miles per hour on a treadmill (no holding on). The slow-walk recovery intervals last between two and three minutes.
If only a 7 mph run wipes you out within 30 seconds, then so be it. If you’re very heavy, then perhaps your maximum speed is 5 mph. It’s all relative. Although, you must be depleted within about 30 seconds, such that one second longer is unthinkable. Talking is nearly impossible after each work interval.
