Yet another question on HIIT

dogboy99nz Posts: 40 Joined: 2003/04/20	2004/01/22, 08:34 PM Hi, I've been reading through the various archived HIIT links and was wondering if anyone could advise me..... To burn fat Is it better to, as I do now, do low-intensity cardio work three days a week for 25 minutes (Monday, Wednesday, Friday) and a full-on HIIT cardio workout for 25 minutes twice a week (Tuesday and Thursday). I also do a pretty high intensity spin class on Saturday mornings (for kicks). Should I be doing more HIIT? I think I read somewhere that HIIT workouts shouldn't be done every day, but I'm not sure if that's the case. Thanks. -------------- Aaron

Since i've cut down to 4-5 days of cardio, mostly HIIT and some low intensity on days i'm feeling a little burned out works great for me...but then again everyones different. Just thought you might like to know how it works for me... -------------- \\"work hard, play hard, party hard\\" ~Don

	2004/01/24, 10:19 AM Weights and cardio should be split up by at 6 hours optimally. If that isn't possible at least split them. Do a search on hiit and see how it works. Ravenwolf had a post last year that helped me figure it out. It works best if you do cardio 1 or 2 day and the hiit 1 or 2 days. Keep your body guessing. -------------- Living well is the best revenge. Charlie
