    I have another question for you HIIT experts. Does the DOMS you get in your legs eventually get easier as you do HIIT more and more? Because the few times I tried I had to skip lunges and squats in the next workout.

    I have never gotten DOMS from HIIT. Did you maybe do a cardio activity for your HIIT that you don't already do as steady-state cardio?

    I do sprints, and my steady state cardio is jogging. Both give me DOMS, although the one from cardio is getting milder.

    Ah, okay. Well, I imagine as your muscles get more accustomed to jogging/sprinting, your DOMS will decrease.

    When I do HIIT, it's activities that I've been doing for some time; running, rowing, burpees, etc. None of those give me DOMS (unless we're talking about an excessive number of burpees!)

    In that case I'll get better accustomed to jogging before I do sprints again. But I want to get there! Hill sprints rock even though they completely destroy me...

    K, you might try a sprint HIIT with 1 minute of sprint and 2 minutes of walking. Work up to it that way.

    Sorry to ask HerrKaputt but are you sure you are getting DOMS ( DELAYED muscle soreness, meaning the next day) or are you getting muscle stiffness/jello legs the same day, not the next day?

    Stiffness means your muscles limiting the range of motion.  Where as DOMS the muscle move correctly but weight or a specific direction of motion kills (overly simplify for showing the difference).

    Stiffness USUALLY happens if you perform HIIT or other forms of cardio and stop and cool down to quickly.  Example, do HIIT, take a show, go to bed, sleep for 8 hours, next day you feel like you cannot move.  This is mainly stiffness not DOMS.  After a good session it is wise to walk around for a few minutes even 20-30 minutes.  Don't just sit.  The muscles still need oxygen and blood nutrients to cool down slowly. 

    For me after an intense HIIT jumprope session where I must push one leg in front of the other I start doing house chores, walking up and down the stairs, cooking diner, walking around the kitchen etc..  I eat a small meal and drink water.  after 30 minutes my legs are almost back to normal but feel heavy.   The next day my shoulders and legs are stiff.  My cure is 20-30 wide grip push ups and 1/2 a dozen run u and down the stairs.  It is VERY hard the first few strides but the muscles do loosen up and are fine all day after.  At no time are my muscles in pain they just don't want to move.

    Well CG, I'm not sure I can tell those two apart. My legs were definitely a bit jelly-like after my last jogging session, but I did walk something like 7 or 8 minutes afterwards, and then stretched my leg muscles. I also did this after my last sprinting session (which was already like 2 months ago). In both cases the pain started the day after the jog/sprints, and was hardest the day after that.

    In any case, like Goldie said, I have to work up to it. Although I have pretty good endurance and I'm used to doing cardio for 60 to 90 minutes, I hadn't jogged for a few years before I did these sprints 2 months ago, and I also only recently started jogging again. I'll go with two or three weeks of plain old jogging for now before I go for the sprints again. I like jogging anyway Smiley

    That's good to hear, thanks. This month (holiday) I'm going with a schedule of one day weight training, one day jogging, one day rest. I'll get back to serious fitness in September.

    -- ALWAYS warm up completely before you begin, preferably with the same activity you’re going to do for HIIT. (Walk and run slowly before you begin sprinting; cycle slowly before you start cycling hard, etc.) ALWAYS cool down slowly and stretch when you’re done!
    I've always herd I should stretch before I do cardio, why would I wanna do it afterwords?

    its better to stretch after when the muscles are warm to prevent any possible injury.

    Goldie very nice post and informative, i've been doing HIIT for like 3 months now. but im just wondering, when u said it burns more cals but less fat cals, did u mean it burns sugar? cause definitely i dont wanna do cardio and lose muscle mass
