Why HIIT Is Not Working For You | Russ Howe PTI

June 17, 2013

Is HIIT not working for you? Chances are you are making this one crucial mistake in your workout. A guy came up to me in my gym two weeks ago and said, “Russ, I’ve been doing about an hour and 10 of HIIT and also weight training almost every day of the week” and he was confused why he wasn’t seeing any fat loss results from it. Immediately I knew what the problem here was – it’s a mistake many people make around the world.Today I’m going to show you where he was going wrong and how he corrected it.The MistakeDespite being over 20 years old, high intensity interval training has only really become popular in the mainstream over the last two years and, as a result, there are many coaches and trainers out there who know very little about the science behind it. You’ll often hear people giving out vague instructions such as “Just do a minute easy, a minute hard” or “Just turn the gears up every 30 seconds”.That approach is nonsense.What this guy in the gym was doing is something I see a lot of people doing and then wondering why they are not getting any results

Warrior Fit Testimonials

First, I want to say thank you for convincing me to do Tabata! I was struggling to lose weight and Finally I found something that helped! I really appreciate your coaching! - Craig T.

Ever since I was convinced to do Tabata I have seen huge results, I lost 6 pounds and gained energy in the first 3 weeks. I have been working out for 3 months before I decided to do Tabata and I struggled to lose weight. At first I thought "How am I losing weight by bringing my heart rate up then cooling down then bringing it up again?" I don’t know how it works but it does! Thank you!! - Theresa F.

The first day of Tabata, I wondered WHAT AM I DOING - I AM 56 !! Five weeks later I knew that it was what I needed. I learned that I could push myself well beyond my comfort zone and feel good later. I have a marked improvement in physical as well as emotional endurance. - Lyn C.

When I was first told about Tabata I was very excited from the word go, however that excitement stemmed from the fact that I had no clue what it meant. I missed the first week of class b/c I was traveling for work so when I came in during the 2nd week I had some making it up to do. It was hard at first b/c my body wasn't used to working out at such a fast pace, but once I got into a rhythm I started to feel very good. These classes are no joke. If you stick with it you will leave there feeling stronger, healthier and overall better about yourself and what you've accomplished. I would recommend these classes to anyone. Darrin is a great trainer and he'll keep you going with his energy. - Jami L.
