- neutronicus 2mo agoWow, their "high" threshold is 150 minutes / week. That's really not a lot, it's like 3 days / week of running a slow 10k.
- adam_arthur 2mo agoYes, given all the recent data coming out, it seems to me HIIT is a much better bet for general health purposes than LISS style cardio. Curious what the consensus will be a few years out.
- 2muchcoffeeman 2mo agoDefine HITT. I guarantee you that HITT with stupid movements is also not good for you. And you can over train HITT. Source: all the people I used to do CrossFit with that got injured or washed out from over doing it. As always the answer is to listen to your body and don’t over do it. Running marathons is fine. HITT is fine. Lifting weights is fine. In moderation at an intensity suitable to the individual.
