Lilith Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Good job on your HIIT training! It is really hard, and definitely a mental game. You need to push yourself further than is comfortable! I hope the next time will go even better! Quote Level 7 Assassin Cat - Meow!

Why not? Posted April 2, 2015 Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 Did my first HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) session this morningAbout 1/4 of the way through I thought "what have i gotten myself into"ans about 3/4 of the way in I bailed out, just couldn't keep going....HOWEVER it felt really good to start excising again and i'm looking forward to my next session tomorrow morningbut perhaps i'll cut my time ratio to 20/10 instead of 30/10 I'm gonna see the quest through to the end!! First of all, good work taking the plunge. HIIT is no joke. Second, Tabata intervals (sort of a "gold standard" for HIIT) use 20 seconds of work followed by 10 seconds of rest. You don't want to increase your work/rest ratio too much, otherwise you won't be able to maintain the desired level of intensity. Basically what I'm saying is, don't be disappointed in your inability to last the full workout at 30/10.

SmoothRobb Posted April 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 Thanks guys!! Believe it or not, since i started doing 20 and 20 the workouts ARE less intense, still tiring but I always end up feeling like i didnt work hard enough So i think im gonna take the advice and do 20/10.I'm also thinking of doing some "light" weight training too time will tell my friends....quest on! 3 Quote Beyond this place of wrath and tears Looms but the Horror of the shade,And yet the menace of the years Finds and shall find me unafraid.It matters not how strait the gate, How charged with punishments the scroll,I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul.
