HiiT Confusion
HiiT is an excellent way to target fat and leave your muscle alone. I think it is a good thing to add to your routine when you’re cutting down, just a 2 times a week. It’s really good and I do it myself, but I wanted to bring confusion into the equation.
I think you’re aware that being successful with weight lifting is to change things up and do things differently, so your muscles don’t know what is coming next. This works good to keep them on their toes and it helps develop more muscle mass.
I want to get the same results with HiiT confusion. Typically, I don’t think your burst times really matter. So if you run for 1 minute than walk for 1 minute and do that for 15 minutes, I don’t really think you have to change that up all the time. I do however think you should change up the particular exercise you’re doing.
I remember I started doing HiiT by running continuously up and down stairs. I’d go as fast as I can for about a minute and than just do it slowly for another minute. After about 2 weeks I got very used to the stairs. It didn’t really matter how long I extended things, I could do it.
Change up your exercises and do a different type of cardio. If you run all the time, you’ll get used to it. If you climb stairs, you’ll get used to it. Change things up and shock your body that way. You’ll get far better results this way.
