Popularly known as HIIT among bodybuilders.
Before you read on further, if you are new to bodybuilding or in a not so fit condition, less on stamina, this isn’t for you.
Particularly this is for guys below 20% fat, the ones above would probably not be able to carry this off unless they are Brock Lesnar.
HIIT has awesome fat burning effects, especially when combined with a keto diet can show lightning quick results.
Explaining HIIT:
HIIT is any form of cardio: Running, swimming, cycling, burpees, elliptical, kickboxing.
Only the method it is executed is really different:
In HIIT: You workout in a manner like:
10 minutes:
minute
Minute
This goes on for the whole ten minutes.
It can also be like:
Sprint 20 seconds, rest 10 seconds: Follow up for 10 minutes.
People who have heart problems, kindly keep off.
The best part about HIIT is the application can be even as less as 6 minutes after you do your workout with weights, leading into 15% extra fat burned throughout the day.
So instead of having a post long cardio session which sacrifices the muscle because the time gap noted without protein intake, HIIT can be more efficient for daily weight hitters.
And if you do a 1 hour long medium intensity Cardio on the days off, it just gets easier to burn fat.
So should you do it?
Ask yourself. Are you fit enough for it?
