I stumbled on your site from some other fitness blog. Thanks for the post! I will be back for more.

Agreed that the additional burn may seem a bit insignificant, but over time it adds up :) Cheers, -Max I enjoyed reading the link you posted here, and really appreciate the practical testing of EPOC of HIIT on the bike.

It's part of the reason why I only approve of doing them 1-2x per week - people will simply burn themselves out very quickly. I disagree with the increased metabolism statement. EPOC does not really increase the overall burn by much at all. There is a whole series on this. start here: http://www.bodyrecomposition.com/fat-loss/steady-state-versus-intervals-and-epoc-practical-application.html Hey Max,

I would have to agree with a lot of what JC is saying here. As a Certified PT as well, I always strive for my clients to amp up the intensity. HIT sprints are a good way to incorporate it into a training routine. Getting to a base fitness level is key first. Getting the form and feel of the movements will allow for a lifetime of fitness. Also, before (any) HIIT training, be sure to warmup properly. Using HIIT training-with sprints as well as weight does a body good: -Increasing your VO2 Max oxygen intake -Lowering resting heart rate -Longer increase of metabolism over more extended periods of time (over the next 24-48 hours, instead of just during the activity like steady state cardio) -High levels of energy/calories used in a single training session Feel the burn! Be Well, -Max Hey Grok whatsup!
