My experience is that when I incorporate "real" HiiT workouts into my routine consistently for maybe a month that I feel tighter and less "fluffy" in spots. I haven't actually measured anything so it's just my sense of how my clothes fit and how I "feel."

I find the scale moves after a stall if I start adding in brief HIIT a few times a week. Because of health issues I'm not allowed to do high impact anymore or lift anything over my head and I have some vertigo so things that involve changing from standing to horizontal moves ie burpees make me very dizzy.
I'd love to incorporate more HIIT but finding things I can safely do has been my biggest challenge. I have found that adding the short beginning step segment from Cathe's Athletic Training has been helping. That's not HIIT but it gets my heart rate up, but I think that's because my cardio endurance has declined over the years since taking the impact out of my workouts. I do think adding short bursts of more intense cardio (that is different for everyone) whether it is true HIIT or not has benefits. |
