The Two Biggest Mistakes Of HIIT

By Russ Hollywood


Before you embark on a HIIT program to lose some weight, you should look at the two biggest mistakes people make during this type of workout. If you are able to get these two aspects of your training program sorted out from an early point you will notice greatly improved long-term results.

We live in an impatient world. A world where gym users rush into buying products like creatine with no idea what it actually does for them.

Before you try something as intense as interval training it would make sense to look at the things which other people get wrong and ensure you learn from their mistakes. [

The overwhelming majority of gym users who wish to adopt this method into their workout program are more interested in the potential fat loss benefits it could yield. However, it would be foolish to jump in without first addressing the two most common risks. They are:

1) What is the recommended frequency for interval training?

2) How can you avoid unnecessary injuries?

Following the old trend of thinking you need to hit the gym every single day is the number one reason for failure with this particular exercise style. This is all about the fact that you can get better results in half the time or less, so doing it every single day would defeat the whole object.

You may have heard that the top fat loss benefit of interval training is EPOC, also known as the afterburn. This is the process by which your body will continue to burn off more calories after your leave the gym. It lasts for up to fourteen hours in total, meaning you should allow adequate rest between each workout if you want to get the most from this desirable phase. Because of this recovery period it is recommended that you perform no more than three hit workouts in any given week.

Injuries are part and parcel of training but those performing high intensity interval training are a little more at risk than mos. This is of course down to the very intense nature of each workout and it usually comes to to people simply skipping their warm-up exercises in a bid to save a little time. If you went straight into sprints without warming up your muscles, you can say goodbye to your hamstrings!

A warm-up need only take five minutes and the benefits are clear. However, we live in an impatient world where folks want to get in and out of the gym as quickly as humanly possible and this sometimes means skipping the warm-up and cool-down sessions. Much like if you tried using whey protein or creatine supplements without researching them first. this only comes back to haunt you and your hiit sessions will suffer as a result.
