Hi, I did a google on HIIT as I want to add it to my routine. Like you, I hated running. Notice the past tense. I now like running because I’m now on a hormonally balanced diet called the Zone Diet. You can google it for more information, but it is a moderate, balanced diet that yields amazing results. Joslin Diabetes Centers recommends a diet that is almost identical. Dr. Sears, the creator, has worked with athletes that have brought home 24 gold medals. Jenny Thompson was the most prolific Zoner medalist and her count was just surpassed by Michael Phelps a day or two ago.

Christian Vande Velde is a Zoner - he recently finished 5th in the Tour de France.

I’d also recommend spending some google time on “pose running.” It has helped me a lot, but takes some time to get your calf muscle strong enough to support the work load.

I’m a decade your senior and I feel better than ever - and I mean this factually. I really really do feel better than ever. I effortlessly lost 25+ lbs of fat while adding ~70 lbs to my bench press - I started pretty weak.

My foundation is the Zone Diet, pose running is a great tool and I hope to add HIIT as another tool in my arsenal.

Best of luck in your exercise adventures.

I use to be just like that. I talked to this personal trainer one day and he said the best way to stay motivated is to make a journal of exactly what you do every single day. Honestly it really work when I looked at it on paper it was different. When you see no improvement on paper in terms of reps, sets, and distance and haven’t done anything you feel like a lazy asshole that day then get motivated to get on them running shoes and pull out the wieghts.

It’s painful and horrifying, but effective! Since regular aerobics only elevates your metabolism afterward for about 2 hours, and hiit does so for 24 hours, the choice is obvious.

Good luck in your training.

Whoops-After a gadget driven post yesterday, I forgot my watch this morning, making my heart rate monitor nothing more than a tight, chest-restricting band. Better luck next time.

[…] So, between getting a new job, finishing my freelance projects, winding up for Christmas, having some old friends back in town, having a birthday, taking a week off for the holidays themselves, life’s been a little hectic. However, let us not forget that losing weight is on the tip of our tongue with New Years only two weeks away. I’m a little stressed today, and haven’t really been in the mood to write much. However, I found a cool site of a local guy trying to lose weight and using a new technique that I hadn’t heard of, HIIT. It stands for High-Intensity-Interval-Training. Lots of sprinting, lots of pain, really short workouts. It seems interesting and I’m anxious to see how it works for him. Here’s the site; www.badrunner.com. […]
