15 minutes exercise a day is not enough, especially given the recommended minimum is 30 minutes

Alright so 30 minutes each day? Didn't know what's the exact minimum. I'm barely tired after 15 minutes I just stop because I get bored.

You could do HIIT on that thing.

Then record it so I can giggle.

High-Intensity Training.

Basically sprint-work.

You jog for thirty seconds, then sprint, then jog, then sprint full force etc. etc.

Long-distance cardio catabolizes muscle, but HIIT doesn't have the same fat-burning capabilities as staying in the target burning rate for a long time that normal cardio has.

I just thought it would be funny watching you go full speed on that thing.

What are the benefits of HIIT?
I usually do my 15 minutes at 7 or 8 KMH that's pretty fast could go faster though.

Really, the full benefit of HIIT is running on a track, not on a machine, I was just being a smartass.

It's just that you can burn the same amount of calories doing HIIT in eight minutes that you would do at a normal pace for twenty minutes.

It also decreases muscle catabolization. Compare the bodies of cross-country runners and sprinters, sprinters usually have much more muscle.

If you are just trying to stay in shape, it might be satisfactory for you, since you aren't weight-training, also there is nothing more fucking boring than half an hour of cardio.

Just my opinion. I've actually heard that doing HIIT on elliptical machines is better than treadmills, so eh, do whatever you wanna do.

Just know, your ass will get burnt out quickly, if you do it properly.

Should I do HIIT even if I'm not a fatty?

Fatties normally can't do HIIT.

Isn't HIIT for fatties to lose weight efficiently or can it build muscle and get normal people in good shape?

HIIT for athletes that want to burn fat, but not experience the muscle catabolzation of long bouts of cardio.

I don't know many fat-asses that can handle ten minutes of HIIT.

Scratch that, I don't know a single fat person that exercises.

Nigga I have the same thing, I do 30 minutes TWICE a day, and I'm going to move it to an hour in a few weeks. Unless you weigh 300 + pounds you will not lose weight or get muscle.

it's for building endurance, fat burning is just a happy coincidence and HIIT should not be used by people who don't have a firm fitness base already in place

Overdoing it won't make it more efficient, dumbass.

HIIT > whatever the fuck it is you're doing.

Would increasing VO2 levels really not be considered "increasing endurance?"

I mean, HIIT increases VO2 which is in essence someone's ability to go full out in intervals, while endurance is the ability to maintain over long periods of time, which I would think would be increased by doing long bouts of cardio.

I powerlift, and don't really concentrate on cardio, so I'd like to know.
