1. Do your HIIT workout first thing in the morning.
There are so many reasons why working out in the morning is better than any other time of the day — for example, a good morning workout routine can….
Help create a consistent exercise routine, which can help you reach your fitness goals faster and strengthen your self-discipline. Give you more energy and get you ready for your day ahead, both mentally and physically. Research shows a morning workout may even give you more power than a cup of coffee.
Lower your stress levels and improve your state of mind. These workouts let you burn more calories working at your desk, eating your lunch, socializing with your friends, and even while you’re sleeping!
2. Do your HIIT workout in a fasted state
If you haven’t heard yet, intermittent fasting is essential for your well-being and makes us more efficient machines. It helps us get rid of damaged cells, stop cancerous growths, and prevent metabolic dysfunction like obesity and diabetes.
The combination of fasting and high-intensity exercises maximizes the impact of cellular factors and catalysts (cyclic AMP and AMP Kinases), which force the breakdown of fat and glycogen for energy. When used in combination together, there’s nothing better!
3. Push yourself to your 100% max!
What a HIIT workout should look like and how most people do it is often wrong. A HIIT workout that will give you the best metabolic and best body composition response require pushing yourself to your 100% max!
The goal of a HIIT workout is to elicit as much of metabolic stress on yourself that you possibly can in the shortest amount of time. Then allow yourself enough time to recover FULLY.
One of the biggest mistakes people make during HIIT workouts is they don’t push themselves hard enough during the actual HIIT interval each round. A big reason people don’t sell themselves hard enough comes down; they don’t recover FULLY. And have their HIIT intervals or workout too long.
4. Give your body enough recovery before each HIIT interval.
This secret cannot be stressed enough. Many HIIT videos I see online have you doing a 1 to 1 or 1 to 2 ratio of HIIT and Recovery. For example:
1min ON of HIIT – followed with 1min OFF of low-intensity/recovery Or 1min ON of HIIT – followed with 2 min OFF of low-intensity/recovery
The reality is, most people, even those that are physically fit, should shoot for a 1 to 3 ratio of HIIT vs. recovery OR more! This means for every second ON of HIIT – there should be 3 seconds OFF of low-intensity/recovery.
Your body doesn’t know what 1 minute or 2 minutes ON is, it just knows when it’s fatigued or not.
5. Don’t make your HIIT intervals longer than 15-30 seconds:
What?! Only make my HIIT intervals 15-30 seconds long? That’s too easy! Right? Wrong.
A high interval intensity training must have you out of breath. Everyone’s recovery time is different. It doesn’t have to be shorter. You need to recover FULLY then go hard as you possibly can.
The benefits of HIIT workouts come during the HIIT segments, NOT during recovery. If you keep your heart rate elevated the whole time and didn’t let yourself fully recover, you’re not doing interval training.
6. Don’t skip the warm-up or cool down during a HIIT workout
Make sure you always warm up your joints and body before working out to help prevent injury and get your body ready for the workout, especially HIIT workouts.
Right HIIT workouts demand 100% on your body. This increases the likelihood of injuries, like sprains or strains exponentially. To ensure you don’t experience this type of setback, I recommend a 5-10 minute warm-up before each HIIT workout. Some people, especially beginners, need more prolonged warm-ups.
7. Don’t overdo it
I don’t know about you; I love the way I feel after a HIIT workout. The rush of endorphins, the burning lung feeling in my chest, the sweat dripping down my whole body! You feel like you just pushed yourself to a new boundary, and it was awesome.
The recommended frequency for HIIT workouts is 2-3x a week maximum – with a total duration of 10-30 minutes of each HIIT workout.
