Im considering high-intensity interval aerobic training (HIIT) as a solution to burning bodyfat. Whats you opinion on HIIT training?
Justin Leonard: HIIT training involves performing a combination of slow- and high-paced aerobics within a 15-minute [or less] timeframe. Yes, it can be effective, but I don’t recommend anything that involves taking your heart rate on a roller coaster ride, especially if (1) you normally don’t workout and you’ve just decided to begin a training regiment or (2) you haven’t worked out in a while. For some people it’s okay, but for others it can be unsafe because their heart may not be able to handle the cardiovascular workload. The chances are minimal, but this could result in having a heart attack for someone who attempts this style of training with an already weak heart. It’s safest to gradually work your way up to a comfortable level of speed or resistance instead of jumping around from high-paced aerobics, then back to moderate or slow aerobics. Your body still burns as much fat by using a gradual speed or resistance increase. Groin Pull Question: I think I pulled a groin muscle after
