more like jogging bad, sprinting less badOriginally posted by galapogos:OK, after reading your previous post I realize that we're making the same point - sprinting causes more stress on the body, but a different type of stress that's concentrated on different parts of the body.
Simply put - jogging bad, sprinting good
thats why there are epilitical cross trainers...lessen the impact on your joints -
Ok.. i'm listening.. the wife's issued an ultimatum.
Hope this helps me streamline a programme cos i had to jog like sh*t n do reps in the gym to trim 20 kg the last time round.
Any tips for someone like me? i.e. used to be moderately toned but now just a 30 yr old slob... -

Will running 500m(2minutes) then rest for 2 minutes be less effective than the normal HIIT (sprinting for 30 seconds then jog for 30 seconds)?

Please explain what you mean by detox program?Originally posted by DC+:for you...try a detox programme 1st -
I guess he would mean by taking slimming pills type of things........Originally posted by OPT:Please explain what you mean by detox program?
Anyway I feel that it would be more important to look at one's own health first before embarking on any slimming program. Furthermore, losing weight is not just crafting a programme a following it; it involves a total change in lifestyle. You do not want to lose weight only to gain it back again. -

First of all, i just want to say different people have different bodies, at different stages of fitness & different requirement. Saying from my own experiences, i was once a obese 90kg @ 1.70m
At that stage, i would say for me, it is almost impossible to do interval run or sprint, let alone completing a 2.4km jog without walking. Even climbing stairs already makes you breathless. People who are in this stage is not suitable for any intensive exercise and should condition your bodies first like slow jogging. For me i condition my body about 1 to 2 months, 4-5 times of slow jog per week until i was able to complete 2.4km easily without walking. My weight drop to about 85kg and was stagnant for the 3rd month.
It was then i begin to control what i was eating. Standard things like no fried food, no skins, no soft or sweet drinks, no junk food. The amount of food is the same but minus those mentioned meaning u eat more veg, fruits, water to fill up ur stomach. All these so call control plus the continue jogging, i managed to drop my weight to 80 (roughly abt 1mth 1kg) and remain stagnant again.
As the jogging is beginning to stress my knees, i reduce to twice a week and i change to 2 sessions of gym overall workout plus weekend go swim. After 6 months, my wt is 72 now. My target is 68 4 more to go
Hope my experience can help ... -
HIIT isn't about sprinting. It's about high intensive interval training. High intensity will obviously be subjective. If you're sedentary and obese, obviously you won't be sprinting. Even walking fast will make your heart rate go through the roof. Again, the key here is high intensity, whatever that means for you. This doesn't change whether you're fat or slim, fit or sedentary.
-
i still think for those who have not exercise for a long time, its better to condition the body slowly especially those who are older before they embark on any intensive interval training

Never encountered a newspaper article in my life that reports of people dropping dead after HIIT exercises.Only marathons, jogging on treadmills and triathlons.

Maybe that's because most "unhealthy" pple starts from jogging instead of HIITOriginally posted by Simon Dean:Never encountered a newspaper article in my life that reports of people dropping dead after HIIT exercises.Only marathons, jogging on treadmills and triathlons. -

Actually if you look at the facts - it's veteran runners etc that are dropping dead - no novice beginners.
This is because of what this steady/low intensity aerobic training does to the heart and the body.... more on that latter. -
OK, here comes the spelling police again. It's later not latter. Latter is the opposite of former. Later is the opposite of earlier.
You fix my hip, I'll fix your spelling -
how about I just break your face - most are just typos
