For those looking to lose fats quickly, of course there is always the HiiT workout that still trumps many other types of cardio workouts in terms of efficient weight loss.
So, the question is.. how much HiiT is too much?
We recommend 3 times per week. Why not do it daily? Here are some risks to take note of:
- Over-training increases the risk of injury. When you do not give your muscle tissue enough time to repair, your body will eventually wear out.
- Mental burnout is also a condition not to dismiss. We do not want stress and high levels of cortisol, which decreases musculature and increases abdominal fats.
A little on the cautious side to start the post summer break but it is worth equipping ourselves with knowledge.
Meanwhile, continue to have fun with your weekly HiiT sessions and why not throw in some core exercises such as Pilates or weight training. Enjoy!
