Ya get it? LOL

TRUTH: HIIT (high intensity interval training) is GREAT when correctly programmed; but it is NOT meant to be done frequently. It’s actually impossible to do so. The very nature of HIIT training is to perform all out, high-intensity exercise for a short period of time. And you need ample recovery between sessions to see the benefits of it. 

FICTION: Doing HIIT daily or even every other day will get that lean body you are dreaming about. If this is your’e digging yourself into a hole. You’ll burn out fast because you’re trying to operate at a level of intensity that your body (and nervous system) simply can’t sustain. 

STOP: Doing HIIT every time you’re in the gym. 

START: Doing 1-2 HIIT sessions a week (at the absolute most) in combination with strength training. LISS (low intensity steady state) cardio like walking, biking, or playing sports are extremely underrated for fat loss. 

Just👏🏾 move👏🏾 more.👏🏾 

WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE HIIT ACTIVITY? Mine are actually sprints. The short intensity keeps my running base 👌 ya know, in case I have to sprint away from a bear 🐻 or a zombie 🧟‍♀️!
