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
so does this mean I should stop stretching before cardio? |

doing a warm up should do a small stretch to the muscles you are going to use in the exercise

Good question. The point is the HIIT needs quick energy. Fat and muscles are slow to convert to energy. Food on the other hand is much quicker. So if you have food 30-60 minutes before HIIT you will have a more intense session. If not you may be limited and be tired quicker and not push as hard. Don't worry since the body needs energy for everything the fat stores will be used during the day. |

Don't worry since the body needs energy for everything the fat stores will be used during the day. Canadianguy is correct. To elaborate on his point, it doesn't really matter whether you burn calories from fat or from sugar during your exercise. This is because: 1) Unless you are seriously undernourished, you will NOT burn muscle. 2) Even if you burn 100% of the calories from glycogen (the sugar stored in your liver and muscles), your body will burn fat tissue to produce glycogen to restock your glycogen levels. For this reason, the most important thing to ask is how many calories will be burned because of the exercise session. In normal cardio, you burn them DURING the exercise. In HIIT, you burn a little during the exercise and keep burning a lot during the following hours. |

Its ok but you may notice you can push harder/longer if you had food before. |

Jogging, biking, brisk walking, swimming... any "normal" steady-state cardio will do. |

Marathon runners won´t lose muscles from one race, I used to run marathons( 1 full, 2 half and several team marathons). Poor nutrition completely depleting your body will cause it. Yes, marathon runners are small, they are focused on their sport/hobby, and are jampacked of slow twitch muscle. So many think they are small becuase they have burned muscle, its ridiculous. Yeah fat supplies will be burned when body is done burning glucose/glycogen and atp. Burning muscle would severly hamper a pro marathon runner, they need their muscles as much as any athlete. |

So on conclusion: HIIT cardio training doesnt burn fat while your doing it, but only after you have used up all the available energy sources, then it only starts to burn the fat to restore the energy?
My question is, will HIIT help u get rid of the fat you have put on during the bulking up faze of your weight lifting or something. because ive noticed that ive put on a bit of fat as well as muscle because ive noticed that im not as ripped as when i started weight lifting.

Yes, HIIT will help you lose weight Well, it does burn your available energy source first, then start on converting new energy, during the actual exercise they work about the same, but HIIT keeps working after you finish. EPOC(excess post exercise oxygen consumption)may be slightly overrated, but doesnt take away how effective HIIT is for cardio and fatloss. Did that answer it? |
