Week #4

I’m four weeks in and it’s obvious to me that HIIT workouts have benefits. I still have a few more weeks to decide whether or not I want to keep them in my routine. Also, if I do, I’m not sure if my body can handle the intensity for an extended period of time. It’s clearly evident all the articles I’ve read on HIIT’s are true. These workouts will make a difference, and if you’re doing them properly, don’t do them two days in a row. I can also see why so many athletes have cycled them into their routines.

My best advice for anyone wanting to begin “HIIT’ing” is to make sure to hydrate plenty before and after. I think that has been one of my biggest issues to this point. These particular workouts will require a huge amount of energy expenditure in a short period of time. If you don’t hydrate properly, then expect not to recover well. that has been my biggest problem. Other than that, I’m loving the way I feel and hope to see further improvements over the next few weeks.
