Lastly, I want to point out that the metabolic benefits of HIIT are a function of their high intensity. Typically HIIT is performed with 10-30secs of maximal intensity effort, followed by 30-90secs of low intensity recovery. This work to rest ratio very closely resembles that of weight training. If you are lifting weights 3-6 times per week, any beneficial physiological adaptations from HIIT may already exist. - Eric Helms Read more here: dynamicduotraining/ask-the-experts-round-table-discussions/hiit-liss-cardio-whats-better-fat-loss-roundtable-discussion/ (Hat tip to the NBB Facebook page for this one.)
