HiiT Parade

[jthornton202264]

In case anyone is interested, I'm posting my results. I strung all the Hiits together today: 40/20 warmup + cardio, Double Wave Cardio, 30/30 Cardio, Circuit Blast Cardio + CB Stretch. According to my Polar F4, I came in at 1:23:25 (including extra time for switching disks--and tightening my shoe laces after the warmup). My average heartrate was 146, maximum HR 181 (not sure when that brief spike happened--probably the butt kicks), and calories burned = 600. I'm 42 years old, 5'2", and 122 lbs.

I'm so impressed -- the only thing I've done so far is 30/30 back-to-back and thought I accomplished a lot! We'll have to see about doing all three, plus the Circuit Blast Cardio! I'm not much older than you -- 45 years, 5'4 and 122-124 pounds. The day after I did the 30/30 back-to-back I was pretty wiped out, so I'm sure I will have to try it when I'm not planning any kind of workout the next day (so I can rest!). But that's a great idea -- I'm always trying to think of ways to combine Cathe's workouts and never thought about this -- thanks for the idea!!

I did the warm up and cardio of 40/20, followed by the cardio of Double Wave Pyramid and 30/30 this morning. It was crazy- crazy hard and crazy fun! A great way to start the week!

HIIT and muscle catabolization

Hello,

I have read that the advantage of short intense workouts is that the body does not begin to catabolize muscle. More cortisol is released the longer the duration of the workout.
