I like the concept of thinking about HIIT --going all out and recovering as similar to weight training--exertion and recovery. Excellent object lesson!
I do walking and sprinting. Sometimes I go to the gym and use the water rower ir elliptical or treadmill. Mostly walk/jog/run though. On alternate days I add weights. I had to do chemo and that kicked me hard into menopause which moved my butt around to my belly...I'd been in good shape before cancer and I had a nice butt...didnt look so great as abelly😮! So now I'm trying to regain my body and love this video because I hadn't been giving myself proper time to recover. Thanks for sharing your tips. After 3 weeks, I'm 6 lbs lighter and 2 inches smaller around.
Thank you for clarifying. So, the message is that you HAVE to get breathless and then you HAVE to recover first, before repeating, or doing another interval, correct? The way you tell if your recovered is if you can breathe through your nose. Sometimes I've noticed that I CAN breathe through my nose easily, but I feel like I'm really still not all the way recovered. I'm in a very good place but could get my heart rate down a little more. Is this odd?? And Is doing just 1 of your Breathless intervals every other day, or so enough cardio for the week, or should I do more? Thank you!
Thanks this was really well explained…. If I’m going to do this I want the benefit without the injury. We have a rower so I be switching how I move forward.
Great info. So would it make sense to let’s say do 4-6 intervals of walking/running hiit and then extend the workout with some comfortable walking (no more breathlessness) or is it better to stop further exercise after finishing the hiit session?
I have been strength training and doing steady state cardio for 30 years. I am ready to start HIIT and do it the right way, but should I stop steady state cardio altogether?
To answer for you, not generically, I'd ask whether it's working? If you're getting results and love it... you don't necessarily need to stop. But if time, energy or results are worsening or not giving you ROI, you may want to reduce/exchange and experiment with how that goes for a time. e.g. 3-4 weeks. If energy or body composition improve.. you'll have your answer!
Hi, I’m 56 and was diagnosed with scoliosis last year so don’t want to risk a possible fracture. I have gone to the chiropractor for the last year to correct the scoliosis but I don’t want to lose bone. I’ve recently started my spin bike once a week for 30 minutes amd walking 30 min per day. I also want to start incorporating weights as well. Thanks for the info
I don’t currently do real hiit training but I’d like to start. Is 10 minutes once a week appropriate? I’m considering combining power and hiit together by doing jumping moves to breathlessness or possibly sprinting up and down my long driveway which is gravel. My entire property is gravel and uneven dirt and rock so no smooth surface whatsoever outdoors so I normally always workout inside. Anyway, my takeaway here is it doesn’t matter the exercise as long as go to breathlessness and recover well, any exercise will do; is that accurate? I like to do hiit on my rebounder as well, it’s a lot of fun and definitely gets you breathless if you have the right speed to get you there 😁
That is a good starting point the “ interval time” is the work + recovery . Not including warm up and cool .. you definitely need. Smart to start and see how you feel. Completely correct!
How often per week do you recommend doing HIRT, and do you ever do it in combination with other things in a workout? For example before or after a steady-state run or a weights workout? Or do you just set aside time to do only a warm-up + HIRT + cooldown?
I split them and do on alternate days so I work hard fresh … doing them together isn’t wrong but 1) greater stress may not work as well with same-session and 2) the second activity is usually compromised
I love doing squat jumps! And if I want to hit all my major muscles, I do burpees and/or mountain climbers. Thank you for providing the "recipe"... 30 second interval... recover for 1-2 minutes until complete breathing through nose x 5 = 6-10 minutes of intervals.... Am I right?
One other thought, I think I’m confused on what an interval actually is. You mention 4 intervals is enough. So would that be like 4 sprints, each to breathlessness with recovery between? Which could potentially be a 4-5 minute workout?
Add your warm up and cool down- more intense work demands it ! But say you do a 30 sec interval… you recover for 1-2 mins to complete breathing through nose. X 5 … that’s 6-10 minutes of intervals
The timer thing bothers me…….so what you are saying is just go all out until breathless…..then don’t go all out again until recovered breathing wise…..and repeat until your quality isn’t as good?
By this rationale (stopped when quality/form is no longer good) a hiit workout could potentially be just 5 minutes? Depending on how conditioned one is . . . ?

Good luck with your recovery 🌹
You’re a survivor and thriver. Thank you for sharing!! Get strong! You’ve got this!!
All the best with your recovery! you made me laugh, so thank you for that
Great explanation, thx!
This is so helpful amd well-explained, thank you!!
Thank you, will improve my hiit sessions rigjt away!
This is great! I like doing jump rope and treadmill. I definitely need to mix it up or I get injured - inevitably...

Excellent points - I am 64 and started with an interval timer then realised, that I need longer recovery. 🙂

How many times a week do you recommend HIIT training?

Good for you! Spin and water or rowing and elliptical all potential options
Definitely better start weight machines especially for back
I don't like running. It's just not for me. Do you have suggestions on how I can do interval training on a treadmill by just walking fast?

Recover til recovered to 💯 nose breathing - no time limit

Yes. But as you improve, you will be able to more intervals. But like she said, 4-6 intervals is all that’s needed.
