HIIT Training: 60 second Interval Workout
Well think of it this way. The shorter intervals are linked with adaptation. The longer ones stil have some adaptation but your sprinting is taking place in a glycogen depleted state... In English....The longer intervals completely exhaust your muscles of their stored energy, this energy will take 24hr to 48 hrs to replenish. This HIIT training is superb for Direct fat burning and weight loss. Definitely mix these intervals with some of the shorter more intense workouts during your week for maximum fat loss. As with all HIIT splits, 60 seconds is tough, so start with 6 intervals and gradually migrate to 12. Rest periods also come down from 2 minutes to 60 seconds. Remember to warm up and cool down properly. Beginner
