Why People Should Avoid HIIT

HIIT for me is an absolute game changer when it comes to wanting to mentally feel good and give my body and mind a reset/boost. The sheer benefits I get from 30min HIIT, 2-3 days a week, BLOWS resistance training out the water (when it comes to mental benefits). I'll never stop doing it

HiIT cardio kills your gains, to many reps kills your gains, going to failure kills your gains. One study shows this but another study show the opposite. In 5 years another study will show hiit cardio is good for gainz. So idk, I just do what I want to do.

Your videos are seriously filled with so many gold nuggets! Thank you for all of the incredible value you're providing for people.

This is so helpful. I'm an obese 50 plus male who has had many trainers over the years. All of the them had me doing HIIT within weeks. Invariably, I would get injured, take time off to rest and recover, and stop exercising for weeks and months. Hearing this is so refreshing.

Good points on it not being for everyone. It is a fit person’s endeavor, and it needs to be done right if you are going to do it.

Great video. Dr. Peter Attia on a recent Joe Rogan podcast stated Zone 2 training is the most important cardio one can do. It's your all day cardio pace-Not that hard. Started doing it months ago and my body fat has never been lower, and energy levels never been higher 👍

Listening to the channel more often. It makes me rethink about hiit not the answer just nutrition and right programming.

I like mixing in Hitt a few times a month or a short series during a workout. It’s fun, change of pace to mix things up.

I could listen to these guys all day. What a great pod.

I am amazed of the quality of this channel, incredibly common sense and reasonable advices. Thanks so much, I love learning from you. I have struggle with being overweight my entire life and I am 40 now. I am not disciplined enough to respect my diet and stick with my training program Thanks guys

Right now im doing crossfit type workouts 3x a week and yoga 3x a week.... After watching this channel im rethinking my life lol

I love how you guys care so much about all people trying to workout, it really shows ❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥

I do hiit purely for heart health, not for fat loss. Just one day a week.

HIIT was initially created by Dr. Isumi Tabata to improve VO2Max of elite athletes and HIIT delivered it really well ... fat loss was not it's main goal...but it does help in fat loss as a secondary effect by burning calories and helping to increase the calorie deficit which is primarily to be achieved through diet plan and further aided through exercise program that can comprise circuits, complexes, steady state cardio, or regular strength training. By the way, HIIT is a set of principles that can be applied to any of the above formats of exercise. It is not a separate type of exercise method. But if calorie deficit is missing, no amount of physical workouts shall help in fat loss.

This is excellent. Thank you for considering our joint health too!

Wow, Wow Wow!!! I cant believe I just discovered this page 4 days ago. Learning so much!!! Way more than I have ever learned, just from these 4 days that I can now apply. Been diving into youtube fitness videos for the past month and a half and started to workout back in july. I could have saved so much time and energy and AN INJURY due to HIIT if I would have discovered this earlier. Glad I have found this page, and thank you all for the videos you release!!! (gone through physical therapy and recovered and more aware and can do HIIT workouts again)

Great video!! Thanks for this valuable information guys! Subscribed!

Since (and “thanks to”) the pandemic I changed weight routines in the gym for HIIT workouts at home with resistance bands (with them I repaired all the injuries I had with weights). The physical and mental changes were incredible. I consider HIIT to be a much healthier style of training (which is what physical exercise should aim for).

Builtlean Transformation is comprised of 30 minute strength circuits. Typically, five exercises done for 30 seconds followed by 30 seconds of rest for three rounds. For example, goblet squat, pushup plank, forward lunge, db row, leg lowering. After three rounds, rest one minute and perform an exercise 20 seconds resting 10 seconds such as pushups. Also, it includes warmup and cooldown and had various different exercises beyond listed above. It was a tough workout supposed to be done three times per week. Unfortunately, recovery was difficult and could never adapt so tried something else.

I think if you are already doing traditional weight/resistance training with big compound lifts like squats, deadlift, lunges, pressing, etc then typical low intensity cardio is better choice than HIIT. Resistance training is already quite taxing for body, and doing higher rep sets of squat/lunges with heavy weights are already exhausting, burn lots of calories, and tax the cardiovascular system very effectively, and build enough conditioning. HIIT would be an overkill here. Plus it also requires that you have solid grip on correct form and technique of exercises so that you may remain safe while going all out multiple times under fatigued condition during the session. Many people simply lack it, especially if they are just starting out fitness journey after a sedentary lifestyle.
