I have a lengthy background in hiit (specifically CrossFit). And I say this in the most polite way possible.
You're doing HIIT wrong if you cannot elevate your heart rate beyond 110 bpm. Whatever you're doing, there's a huge gap in the training programming/protocol.
Everyone suffers in CrossFit. Everyone.
- f311a 6y agoCan confirm. It’s pretty easy to elevate heart rate while doing HIIT. Even if you do it for 10 years.
- Swizec 6y agoI agree. My problem is that I am unable to push myself hard enough for such short periods. My explosivity isn’t good enough. And I have fast recovery which makes typical rest periods too long compared to how hard I’m able to push myself during the thing. Probably would work better if I got a personal trainer to push me specifically rather than in a group/video setting HIIT with heavy weights works very well for me, but I don’t have those available at home. When gyms are open I prefer boxing anyway :)
- hnrodey 6y agoThe training with weights is something else. Olympic weightlifting as part of a metcon is just a different level of physical fitness. Good luck finding stuff that keeps you interested. That’s all that matters.
- blaser-waffle 6y agoSeconded. Did HIIT and Crossfit stuff off and on for a while. The main difference between being fit and not fit, when it comes to HIIT, is that you can do more burpiees or curls or whatever in the 45 second period. It still sucks just as much, but your high-score is better.
