58 years old and I believe Chris about the dangers of flat sprints because I strained my hamstring doing them several months ago. Funny thing is that I had always liked like hill sprints in the past, and I've started doing them again because they're easier on my joints and they just feel right. Other things this old guy does: Echo Bike, daily walks, pickleball, jumprope, band & body weight exercises, dead hangs, hiking and golf.

[@jesseguerra3734]

Lol I'm 59 same thing happened to me. The hamstring.

He didn't provide real answers that's why. Verkhoshansky does

[@FamilyAubel]

Just rewatch. I’m sure this guy has his own platform too. I think he’s saying do interval training. The stuff that’s built into most cardio equipment.

[@stefanweilhartner4415]

regarding fat burning, in HIIT you don't burn fat at all. but you create PGC-1alpha growth signal. and after the HIIT, when you are in a building block surplus (which is not the same as a calorie surplus) mTor is getting active. and mTor and PGC-1alpha together induce mitochondrial growth. and that is one key factor (beside low insulin) to burn fat. mitochondria are slow but 2000 mitochondria can burn twice the fat than 1000 mitochondria. that's the trick. this has nothing to do with damage. however, there are other growth factors as well for blood vessels muscle fiber (p70s6k), ... and for them it is a different story, they might need that damage to induce growth - which i don't know. whatever. my understanding now is different from a few years ago and i am more focused at higher fat intake to lower cortisol to keep the metabolic damage low and have more energy to begin with. beside that, the explanations regarding the right kind of recovery exercise was far too confusing. while i understand the concept to clear out the lactic acid for a faster recovery, intensity and duration type of exercise was not clear at all.

[@stefanweilhartner4415]

i think, i will go with my heart rate. sprint for 8 seconds, walking until the heart rate is almost down to before doing another sprint. repeat. the recovery cycles will get longer automatically because it takes longer for the heart rate to come down. and i will start very gentle to build up strength and not damage my joints etc. i am NOT in a competition with anybody. increasing my health and lose weight is my focus. together with high fat carnivore that should work good.

I've dropped 75 pounds since new years on keto and intermittent fasting. I have plantar fasciitis so running isn't my favorite thing to do just yet. My go to workout for high intensity is splitting firewood. Gets the heartvrate up and you use muscles that you don't usually use

[@scottbaker8530]

I had that along with Gout early on in KETO 3years ago. Lost 70lbs in about 8 mos... i found out Uric acid was high and the sharp crystals start to move in your joints as your body clears them.. so its kinda a good thing of thats whats happening... now 3 years into Keto and i have no pain at all, uric acid went from 7.9 to 5.2

You may need to start looking into dhea and testosterone by mid-40s if you want to get some of that back.

My opinion, age is just a number. I'm 49 and I continue to see progress in the gym. Whether it is strength, hypertophy, fat loss....im not consistent by any means because I enjoy life (epsecially with food and drink!), but when I'm in the zone of a few weeks or months of a training program, I have never once felt that age has held me back... but I always train hard, because I have convinced myself not to take the easy way out.... there are too many fitness charlatans out there that want to sell their experience for the 'older' and slower gym goer...there should be no distinction...dont make excuses like this- hit it like there is no tomorrow!

[@e5musicteacher670]

Either this man is too smart to make it simple, or I’m just too simple. Is he saying something like “go do a 30 minute HIIT session with walking/ light movement in between the breaks?”

[@lalalalelelele7961]

i think he means: -Do about 8 reps of hill climbing HIIT for 30 seconds at 80-85% effort, with 90 seconds light cardio (zone 2) rest. - If it gets to a point you no longer able to reach the distance mark of the first reps, stop. - Last rep do 90% effort.

[@rachaelwalrath6077]

I agree. I think he is saying when doing HIIT rounds instead of the rest period of no movement doing something in zone 2. A slow row or a walk then go back into the next HIIt round.

[@TimeeJustin]

We’re planning on starting HIIT workouts at home with minimal equipment. 15 minute workouts but I want some active recovery options for limited space. Would yoga be an ok recovery or should I opt for a quick jog afterwords? How long should that active recovery be?

[@CrazedCorgi]

10 to 20 minute walk is active recovery. There are other options.

[@tommy2swole]

How os walking recovery? Is it because of the Circulation? @@CrazedCorgi

[@iforc]

He uses drastically more words than he needs to explain pretty simple ideas. I just listened to him not answer a direct question for nearly 5 minutes, wait 7 minutes and he still has not answered it. What do I do if this? Well I’m different that you so make a ritual… yeah I know so what ritual? I’m different than you…. Ok Next question.

[@theblade5302]

Literally just keep moving after an intense workout. Something I think most of us already knew.😅 But I remember it being for avoiding cramping and cooling down too much mid workout. Usually walking or stretching was the thing

[@jordan-in-the-simulation]

You got this becky!

[@billk9583]

Ha, exactly the same "just in time" for me. When this video popped up I had just hit an NPR of 10 sprints, but since I started sprinting I've been wondering about the proper recovery between sprints, so this timing was really uncanny (and apparently continuing to recline on the park bench isn't going to cut it. Ha).

[@stefanweilhartner4415]

try to go the last mile with high fat carnivore. with HIIT you must be very careful. 30min HIIT classes are a scam. one sprint should not go beyond 20 seconds. if so, it is not maximum intensity. and recovery does not depend on the gym class watch but your heart rate coming down. and that takes as long as it takes. 2 minutes, 5 minutes, 8 minutes, whatever. if your heart rate does not come down, your recovery intensity is far to high. look up dr. elisabeth brigth. she suggests butter before going to bed to lower cortisol in the morning to prevent adrenal fatigue and metabolic slowdown. and after a finished workout session i would recommend the same to keep cortisol down.

[@D26996]

How about some HIIT exercise options for those of us over 60 who have Balance issues and Peripheral Neuropathy who don't have access to a gym/gym equipment?

[@andy_ppp]

Do some burpees…

[@jasonhurst8599]

@andy_ppp Would love to except the nerve damage makes it difficult to get the mind - muscle connection signal to ignite and "tell" my leg muscles what to do. For example I KNOW I want to JUMP. I KNOW how to JUMP, so even if I Squat down, build up all the tension and strength in my quads, and hip, glute muscles which if I was Nerve damage free I would have the force to launch 3 feet in the air, even with all that built up energy I'm only able to jump a few inches. And trying to do the whole burpee procedure several times in a row in a HIIT format is just not possible unfortunately. Although I wonder if Mountain Climbers or maybe even better still cross body Mountain Climbers might be at least a semi reasonable option?

[@stefanweilhartner4415]

[@Forgedyourfire]

@@jasonhurst8599 Because peripheral neuropathy can hit people differently especially when it hits your balance, it is hard to say what will work best for you without doing some trial and error. Some of those exercises you may be able to train your way to work through the neuropathy also.

@@Forgedyourfire Thanks

[@richardmiddleton7770]

Basically you need your zone 2 cardio and sprint intensity workouts. He just combines the two because he's a crossfit coach. Personally, and going by the research, it's better to seperate the two because you can't simply do zone 2 cardio AND throw in sprints, it defeats the purpose of zone 2, and you can't do max effort sprints if you're doing zone 2 between sprints! Basically if you're into crossfit, just rag yourself silly and hope you don't burn out in a matter of weeks! I agree that you shouldn't just sit down between sprints, walking is best, but not zone 2.

[@scottyg5403]

Thanks people in the comments I'm not going to waste my time!

[@MarmaladeINFP]

In this video, they discuss how many modern Westerners begin physically declining in their mid-30s. But as an interesting side note, hunter-gatherers don't typically reach their physical peak until their 50s. And then hunter-gatherers in old age maintain the running ability of a teenager. Part of the problem in our society is that people are trying to undo and compensate for all the physical harm done through modern diet and lifestyle. Many of the diseases that used to be solely identified with old age are now becoming common with the young (e.g., type 2 "adult onset" diabetes). On a separate issue, I find it strange that Hinshaw thinks the most risky exercise is a wind sprint on flat ground. I do that all the time without feeling stressed and never getting injured. I actually find it relaxing and enjoyable. In my almost half century of life, I don't think I've ever hurt myself when sprinting or running. Maybe it helps that I do it barefoot on soft grass. That gives my body much more sensitivity and so more information about the impact on my body. And it also gives me grounding. I suspect most people who are adapted to barefoot exercise are less likely to injure than those adapted to wearing shoes.

Hunter gathers were dead at 50 . What are you talking about.

Hi Thomas, do you have a link to the Hills Sprints paper you referred to in this interview?

[@ryandeffley7652]

Sprinting is definitely beneficial. It builds explosiveness, cordination, and fast twitch fibers. For athletes in sport, it's especially great. 💯 But the real debate is HIIT and fat loss. If you want to wittle it down to simple math, formal LISS cardio and walking can be done daily. So a much higher frequency will burn more overall cals than HIIT 2-3x per week. That's why HIIT isn't a great fat loss strategy IMO. Especially since lifting is anaerobic as well. Trying to do multiple forms of anaerobic threshold all week long asks a lot of the CNS. But LISS and walking don't impact lifting at all and even speed up recovery. **If you're trying to drop fat, lifting is your number one priority because you want to hold onto as much muscle as possible. Taxing your CNS with lifting and HIIT all week long will negatively impact lifting frequency and recovery.

[@KakaCat99]

Problem with doing something else (row, walk, bike) for the 3 mins "rest" period.. is that someone will then use the sled.. thinking its available... maybe gentle jog on the spot?

[@vinke3177]

Wow! Thomas does Echo Bike at 1000 watts for 30 seconds. That's crazy. I think I've gotten up to 800 watts before, but never 1000. Would like to see what that looks like on the screen.

[@MrQuadcity]

The key takeaways from Chris Hinshaw's "The Complete Guide to Losing Belly Fat & Getting Stronger with HIIT" are: 1. **Start of Physical Decline**: Physical capabilities begin to decline from around age 34, characterized by reductions in VO2 max and stride length. Recognizing this early can help in effectively countering the decline. 2. **Importance of HIIT for Older Adults**: High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is particularly beneficial for individuals over 35, as it effectively helps in burning belly fat and increasing strength while also countering age-related physical decline. 3. **Appropriate Exercises**: Uphill sprints or sled pushes combined with active recovery phases, like low-intensity rowing, are recommended to maximize the benefits of HIIT while minimizing the risk of injury. 4. **Recovery is Crucial**: Active recovery is essential in clearing fatigue and improving overall recovery. It’s important to engage in recovery activities that are below the lactate threshold to efficiently remove lactate and prepare the body for further activity. 5. **Customize Recovery Based on Athletic Type**: Recovery strategies should be tailored based on whether an athlete is fast twitch dominant or more endurance-focused, as these traits affect how quickly an athlete can recover and prepare for the next interval. 6. **Exercise Frequency and Intensity**: HIIT should be incorporated sparingly-roughly once every three weeks for moderately fit individuals-to avoid neurological fatigue. The focus should be on optimizing, not maximizing, intensity to use fat more effectively as a fuel source. 7. **Role of Low-Intensity Exercise**: While HIIT initiates metabolic changes, low-intensity exercises are crucial for continued fat burning. The goal is to find a minimal effective dose of intensity that enhances fat loss without risking injury. 8. **Fasted Training and Metabolic Efficiency**: Training in a fasted state can enhance the body's ability to utilize fat as fuel, improve lactate clearance, and increase endurance performance, as demonstrated by elite athletes like Camille Leblanc-Bazinet. 9. **Personal Responsibility in Training**: Athletes need to take ownership of their training routines, actively seek guidance when necessary, and adjust workouts based on their body’s responses to optimize fat utilization and overall performance. 10. **Access to Expertise**: For further guidance and detailed workout plans, individuals can access Chris Hinshaw’s resources available on his website, aerobiccapacity.com. These takeaways are designed to help individuals over 35 harness the benefits of HIIT for improving fitness, managing body composition, and maintaining mobility and strength as they age.

So I started rucking for weight loss. Im 57 and yes its hard. I carry 30 pound pack and do 1 1/2 hour rucks. With the hills I try to attack them and then recover on the down side. Not quite the 8 reps of hit just because of the way the trails are but Im losing 2.5 pounds a week. Im trying to do my rucks fasted. I do notice slightly less energy going up hills but its doable. Im shooting for 100 miles a month. Just an arbitrary number I put on myself. Its working so far and is super enjoyable. Yes sometimes the big hills are ass kickers and my legs are on fire but I keep on going best I can. I really concentrate on my recovery after each hill. The hills are getting easier and my recovery is getting quicker. Im wondering if i should put some hit reps in on the first hill and then finish my hike. Would this make a big difference or should I just keep on rucking?

[@SuperSinSlayer]

I think you should only more rest spots while rucking on the hills. Other than that, awesome plan.

[@jamesmorrone2120]

Lay man's terms please.

[@stefanweilhartner4415]

i think i figured out a working rule. after a sprint walk as long as your heart rate did not recover. if your heart rate is down, maybe add another minute of walking just as a safety measure and then start the next sprint. repeat as long as you see the heart rate coming down with the recovery walk. maybe 8 sprints max. start with gentle sprints to avoid injuries. your body needs to adapt 2...3 days to be ready for a higher sprint intensity. when eating meat, choose ground meat. it usually comes with more collagen which is very important for recovery. eat butter after the exercise and before going to bed to keep cortisol down and avoid adrenal fatigue.

How much of what he’s advocating-assuming I could figure out what he was talking about-potentially applies to my demographic (73 and retired)? My health club has a sled (which my trainer doesn’t want me to use), but it’s certainly not out of doors. Also in greater Chicagoland outdoor exercise is problematic. Thomas tried to bring things back to earth by mentioning treadmills, but this guy insists on discussing elite athletes and using jargon (met-con?) with which regular folks are unfamiliar.

He’s made 30 CrossFit Champs but what the fuck is that even?

[@buzznuckols6690]

8 seconds for HIT? Not enough time to get HR high enough IMO. I can’t run so I do my HIT on my bike. I have always heard that HIT is all out for a minute then recover and repeat 🤷

[@JoeHagen-y5x]

There's a lot of different protocols. It depends on the adaptation you're looking for. Research has been done showing 8 seconds of ALL OUT effort, I emphasize ALL OUT, is enough to create major adaptations if done for at least 3 or 4 rounds per session. If you're doing it right, you'll be gasping for air and hardly able to stand up afterward. Now, that and other super short efforts (20 seconds or less) especially train the phosphate energy system from your endogenous (also possibly supplemented) creatine stores. Longer efforts in the 30- 240 second range tend to better train your glycolytic energy system. Both can help with increasing lactate threshold if you add active recovery to the tail end of either of those efforts. Some of the strongest research on increasing VO2 max is with a 4 x 4 interval. 4 minutes at max SUSTAINABILE effort (think consistency) followed by 4 minutes active recovery pace.....

Try a fan bike (the faster you go the harder it gets). I've been doing 10 second, but it's definitely possible to get the HR up in 8-10 seconds.

@@JoeHagen-y5x I don't buy it. Direct me to research that says 8 seconds is enough. Gasping for air and hardly able to stand up after 8 seconds....I don't buy it.
