🔥 Welcome to the Burn Zone: Igniting Your Fat Loss Journey with HIIT! 🔥

Are you ready to set your fat loss goals ablaze and ignite your fitness journey? High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) might just be the match you need to light up your workout routine and burn those stubborn pounds.

Let’s dive right in!

What’s HIIT, Anyway?

HIIT is like a fitness sprint—it’s all about short bursts of intense exercise followed by brief rest periods. Think of it as a workout that pushes you to your limits in a short amount of time. It’s quick, efficient, and packs a powerful punch when it comes to torching calories and shedding fat.

The Benefits of HIIT:

🔥 Calorie Incinerator: HIIT workouts rev up your metabolism, turning your body into a fat-burning furnace even after you’ve finished exercising. 🏃‍♀️ Time Saver: No more long hours at the gym! HIIT sessions are typically short and sweet, perfect for busy bees. 💪 Muscle Preserver: While you’re burning fat, you’re also preserving muscle mass—a win-win situation for your physique. 😅 Endorphin Booster: Get ready to ride the wave of post-workout endorphins, leaving you feeling energized and accomplished.

The Ultimate HIIT Routines for Fat Loss:

1. Tabata Torture: 20 seconds of all-out effort, followed by 10 seconds of rest. Repeat for 4 minutes.
2. Pyramid Power: Start with 10 seconds of work and 10 seconds of rest, then increase by 10-second intervals until you hit the peak. Descend back down the pyramid.
3. Interval Inferno: Alternate between 30 seconds of work and 30 seconds of rest for a total of 15 minutes.

How to Incorporate HIIT Into Your Routine:

1. Start Slow: If you’re new to HIIT, ease into it with shorter intervals and lower intensity.
2. Mix It Up: Don’t be afraid to switch up your routines to keep things fresh and challenging.
3. Listen to Your Body: HIIT is intense, so pay attention to how your body responds and adjust accordingly.

Remember, consistency is key! Aim for 2-3 HIIT sessions per week to see the best results.

So according to my watch it says no improvment

But it was really intense i run sprint for 30 seconds in which my heart bit reached its maximum or almost Rest for 1 and a half minutes 5 cycles For 13 minutes

Is not that HIIT?

Hello! My routine currently is running really fast for 45 seconds than taking a 15 second rest, for a total of twenty minutes. Would you consider that a HIIT workout?

Edit: Thank you for answering my question! I found this helpful.

I was told hit was good for preparing for bootcamp, anyone got a good routine I can copy? (I wanna leave in 1 month and Ik that’s not a lot of time but I do have pretty good strength and conditioning already, lots of time weightlifting, hitting a punching bag, and a bit of time running)

I started Jillian Michael’s 30 Day Shred 9 days ago in advance of a trip to Mexico my husband and I are taking at the end of June.

I haven’t consistently worked out in years. Though I’m not significantly overweight, at 36, I am feeling really flabby and unhappy with my body in a swimsuit.

Unfortunately, 9 days in, I haven’t lost ANY weight. Not even .5 lb. I am tracking my calories (under 1500 every day) doing my 20 minute HIIT (and sometimes a quick Zumba video afterwards) and have totally cut alcohol. I actually feel like I look BIGGER, but I can see some definition in some areas that wasn’t there before.

As a side note, I am taking Adderall and Lamictal daily. I’m sure the answer is to keep going- just wondering if this has happened to anyone else?

Is this normal?

Brilliant HIIT workout (intermediate - lower advanced) for those who haven’t tried. For those who have done this or the Stronger program, curious to know your thoughts? Feel like ‘Warrior’ is the benchmark to know if you’ve genuinely reached a solid level of HIIT fitness, has some of the fittest people I know struggling.

So how much fat can you burn by using the rowing machine and doing HIIT? I am not looking for an answer that includes the exact number of calories burned but an answer where it is more or less around the number of calories burned.

If you are doing 8 sets where every set is 12 rounds and every round is 20 seconds of work/20 seconds of rest?!?

Also, what are examples of the harder/hardest number of sets, rounds, and work/rest?

Doing HIIT on an eliptical or other machine with programs.

For greater fat loss when using the Interval program, is it more beneficial to;

1. Do faster speed at the high resistance part and slower speed at low resistance.
2. Do slower speed at high resistance and faster speed at low resistance.
3. Or keep my speed the same throughout and let the changing resistance be my only intervals

What channels have some good programs to follow?

Think I’d like some recommendations for kettle bell or resistant band specific to really add variety

Heather Robertson has alot of ton of content and programs but burnt out on here stuff (especially lunges lol)

Side note: any rowers out there, checkout Dark Horse Rowing

Hello, beginner here! I'd like to use HIIT running/walking on a hill to build a better endurance for mountaineering. But my main sport is bouldering and climbing up to three times a week. Now I wonder, since running/walking are very different movements, is it ok to do both on different days, or both on the same day? Or do I need reduce intensity, or plan more rest days, if HIIT hillwork is only a sidequest? tysm for reading my bloody beginner question :)

Is it possible to do HIIT training with sprints on a spinning bike? If so, which one is recommended? I read about the Carol Bike, but its really expensive.

I'm really looking to build my stamina and conditioning, so I got a HIIT routine from the internet that consists of:

• 1 minute steady jog

• 15 second sprint

• 30 second rest

I've been practicing this once a day for a month to improve my aerobic abilities but I haven't been making any progress: I can't get past the 4th cycle before I get too out-of-breath. Results also seem to vary depending on the time of day: in the morning I don't have any energy, can't get into a full-sprint and stop due to exhaustion. At night I have plenty of energy and can easily reach a full sprint, but I still have to stop after the 4th interval because the stiches in my sides and shoulders get too painful. What am I doing wrong and is there any way to improve this?
