This video was 4 years ago, and they literally didn't even age a day??? lol

[@kush7138]

Simu Shahin I do AB workout videos from them along with some high reps after wards for 5 days. I add lower body workout (squats, lunges) for 3 days. I do weight training for 5 days after the AB workout, and I do H.I.I.T cardio only for 2 days every week. If you want my regimen, then let me know.

[@kush7138]

I'm also doing some Athlean-X workouts as well.

[@marievistal6118]

Simu Shahin Nice Video clip! Forgive me for butting in, I would appreciate your thoughts. Have you thought about - Dinanlinson Crazy Tactic Approach (erm, check it on google should be there)? It is an awesome one of a kind product for discovering how to use short burst interval training to get that beach body without the normal expense. Ive heard some amazing things about it and my mate after many years got cool results with it.

[@karenzhang1020]

That's the power of working out. LOL

[@BussySlayercranker]

They practice hamon

[@draknarr2313]

Well I wish I would have known this. I did HIIT for 45min everyday for a week. My heart strated freaking out on me this morning.

[@CrimsonFountainofYou]

Totally noticed the increased cardiovascular endurance. Last year about this time I was going to run a 5K with my church . . .but I hate running. So I didn't really do much before. However! I did a lot of HIIT workouts (no more than 3-4 a week though!) and I ended up averaging a 10-minute mile, which is HUGE. For me especially. Because . . . I really, REALLY hate running.

[@anhanhandsom]

you often workout in the morning or the afternoon?

[@ksb6210]

My right ear is jealous

[@zapputopia6383]

[@teshamiller6001]

Omg this is so me🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@saleenasammy6563]

Ohhhhhh you guys are do freaking cuteee!!! Kelly is SO beautiful, look at her eyes...they practically glow!!!

[@777spooney]

I googled HIIT just a few weeks ago to find out what it stood for, great to know how often i should do them so as not to over do it. I have been doing your 'HIIT bodyweight workout 6min' for the past 10 days every 3-4hrs like your site says and have noticed a huge difference in my body (I admit I couldnt do it for more then two days in a row so Im glad a rest is advised.) I even got back into the pool for the 1st time in 4yrs, loving all the new workouts, thanks for doing such a wonderful job!!!

[@fitnessblender]

We're married & we like working together. Sorry!

[@shreshtha9159]

what is that supposed to mean?????????? #2018q/a

[@helixfire1198]

Thats AWESOME!💍🏆🏅

[@gentianviolet2785]

I love your HIIT videos Thanks for telling me that it should be done only 4 times a week I was doing it daily Thanks again Love xoxo

[@yangzta41]

I think I 'm in love with HIIT workouts!

[@deannorris9793]

I did HIIT cardio on the treadmill yesterday as I'm training for an amateur boxing match. I did 4x3 minute sprints with two minute walking breaks in between. The first sprint at 15 kmh, the second at 15.5 kmh, the third at 16.0 kmh and the fourth at 16.5 kmh. It caused me to do my fastest average mile pace, which was 5 minutes 52 seconds.

[@SitiZawaniAbdulGhani]

you guys are a God-send for busy individuals like me who get home late, and barely have any time to squeeze in a work out! I now aim to do one or two videos within a span of 45mins at night, and I feel amazing! Keep it up! :)

[@fitnessblender]

Good question, I will add it!

[@MyThoughtzAndOpinionz]

It’s equivalent to you playing at the playground as a kid.

[@skullshapedbox]

aw man hiit workouts are the best! hiit, and spin class....and zumba...top 3 favourite ways to work out ^__^

[@CaitlynR2008]

I just found your videos. And I cannot wait to get started! I'm obese at 5'4 weighing in at 257 #'s (well today it's 253, I'm just starting). I can't wait to start losing even more. So far all I've done is walking. I've begun cutting out sodas and caffeine also. Three days in I feel like a crazy person right now.... One of my main concerns is excess skin. I'm terrified that I'm going to lose all this weight and still not be happy with how far I've come... Granted it won't stop me from doing it, I would feel better armed with knowledge. Could you do a video about excess skin? Thanks you guys and I am so happy to have found your channel!

[@sonoralee2907]

Hope your still going strong!!! You can do this!

[@gennamarsh8584]

you got this💪💪💪

[@Chevifier]

Congrats on that 4 off thats enough motivation to know your making progress. I started out at 267 and im 5'11''. and now im at 255. I kinda of staled for a while because i wasnt eating right. You have to find out your BMR and keep a small deficit below that 500-600 cals.

[@perihansadovski6850]

+Caitlyn Purcell you must do strength training/toning alongside everything else you do that's making you lose weight. If this is done over a prolonged time in a steady way, then you won't have those saggy skin problems you are referring too. Good luck! Well done, as keeping up high intensity workouts takes a lot of effort; so very well done on doing that!

[@michaelorozco9761]

Be careful and go slow, consult your doctor. These are pretty intense workouts

[@matthewcoutts8670]

Definitely great youtube channel. I don't subscribe to many fitness channels but these know what their talking bout. Nd good workouts too. Love the work

[@sheetalviki4876]

you guys are soooo cute...:) i love the bloopers...and absolutely love the way you hold each other while talking..must say you are the cutest and fittest couple in the whole world. love you sooo much guys..keep up the good work.! fitnessblender rockssss...

[@Youreamess]

Thanks for the info. I only knew the benefits of the after burn and cardio. I didn't know it did all of the other stuff either. I love HIIT, but it definitely needs to be done every so often.

[@someone-ps5tj]

damn.. no wonder i get all sweaty out of nowhere during the night time.😂 it's my 9th day today and I've literally worked out 8 days and took only a day off. I've been continuesly doing HIIT🤦i love HIIT so much🙂 but I'll be careful now. and take REST.

[@yesyouarecorrectbut]

I was thinking to myself while i was watching "i would love to see the outtakes on this" as you could feel her nervousness ....... pleasantly surprised :)

[@karenzhang1020]

HIIT is my favorite!!

[@hawaiiansmith15]

Whats the difference between HIIT and cardio? How do you do cardio properly and hiit properly?

[@MichelleRoots]

Great video and breakdown about HIIT! I love HIIT Training mixed on off days from my strength training

[@incaroads001]

I like this video. Just information without all the usual nonsense. That's a nice change of pace. As a TV professional, though, I feel the need to make a comment. Jump Cuts are bad... Wireless Lav' mics are good.

[@kenlitas_plants]

You two are the cutest!! Like seriously adorable!! Oh and your workouts are so amazing I just love you guys keep doing what you do!

[@fitnessblender]

Thank you!

[@wille7319]

Don't do too much HIIT people. I did HIIT for 5-6 a week for five months. My testosterone levels were completely fucked afterwards and I had little to none libido. And didn't matter what I ate, my body just sucked it up in an hour it felt like. Back then I felt so good when I ate heavy calorie food because my body was constantly in a calorie deficit. Even though pounds were shed like crazy and abs were visible, you felt like shit 90% of the time. Feels good to have gone through such an experience though. To have the understanding.

[@mitmat2140]

HIIT is advisable to be done 2-3x a week.

[@russianred9020]

Will E sorry that happen to you hope your ok now! Can you tell me how I can do hiit with running? I don’t understand how to do it.

[@fitnessblender]

Bodyweight cardio is better than any of those machines. After that, maybe the stair machine or the treadmill.

[@sullyb23511]

Rowing machine?

[@famKuller]

love you guys! your workouts are amazing and you give such good and informative videos, no nonsense! keep it up! ♥

[@CinpinTess]

Thanks guys! I love your advice and workouts. This is my number one place to come to for new ways to challenge my body. :) Keep up the great work!

[@dusty5]

Been loving HIIT from your videos.thanks

[@BlueXalazi]

A good diet varies from person to person. It depends on what you like eat and on your activity level. In general I would recommend from 1000-1600 calories spread out between 3-4 meals a day. And if possible, you want to make sure that you eat a good portion of fruits, vegetables, grains, and meat every day. And avoid sweets(Soda, Cakes, Cookies, pastries, etc) and fats(cheese, bacon, fried foods, etc). You can basically eat everything else in moderation.

[@wedgeofcheese9482]

I had no idea what this is but jaiden recommended them so okay

[@linamarquez]

very informative. thank you. i love hiit workouts.

[@tesneemalkozai2717]

i just notices her eyes are super blue. so pretty

[@ambuge1]

I love this channel!! very informative!!

[@hannachkloe3429]

Danggg can I find a love like this!? Lol.. Oh, and also thank you for the HITT workout info 😩

[@juliaholzsager4960]

How should I be eating with this workout routine? Also, how can I know if I'm not being intense enough to get proper results?

[@BlueXalazi]

The only time that you have to worry about loosing your butt or tights is if you are loosing weight too fast. If you have a good diet with enough protein(to build muscle), a good workout routine(to burn fat), and good rest inbetween workouts(specially 7-8 hours of sleep everyday) then you don't have to worry about getting extremely skinny. Your body will build muscle in the areas that you workout, and you will lower your bodyfat percentage without loosing muscle.

[@joyfuls87]

you guys are so refreshing, thanks for always sharing :D

[@surfhempster]

Thanks ~ that was not only informative, but also made me smile (:

[@CheezyPies]

Love all your videos. Thank you for sharing :) Keep up the good work! :)

[@ARoseG46]

Can you suggest any video's to do in between/ on the days I don't do HIIT workouts.

[@POOTISPENSERHERE]

Thanks for the informative video and i laughed at the last part of it xD!

[@Youreamess]

They're nervous. I would be too. And I just have a suggestion, if their hugging makes you uncomfortable, simply minimize the screen. You'll still be able to get the information.

[@VijaySingh-im3fu]

Cleared some Doubts thank you.

[@damanchauhan3996]

Uh guys make a cute couple😍😍😍 god bless uh both.. n thnx much for these home workouts

[@philoutw]

Hi! First at all: I love your work and dedication. Love your videos! I have a question : - About HIT exercises, is there any specific concerns regarding age and limitations?? I am myself 50 and I wonder should I or should not do some of the HIT exercises. Thanks a lot! Keep doing your god work!

[@777spooney]

I agree!! So so addicted to you both.

[@emilypowers829]

Similar question to the one below. Is it too much to do 2-3 HIIT and 2-3 Strength training a week? How do you suggest balancing HIIT and strength?

[@matthewcoutts8670]

Focus what you need, don't do both I do hitt twice nd strength like once or twice

[@renalumbert6184]

you two are to cute~ thank you for all the great tips

[@fitzzbrown274]

You guys look good together

[@pbolonha]

I love your videos!! and I have a question. you said to do HIIT in maximum 4 times a week, but and about your 5 days challenge HIIT workout? There is something different about it?

[@sparklewish80]

what machines are best to do? i have heard people say treadmill is better, or the eliptical, or the rower, etc. i would like to know which machines are better for you to do and get the best results.?

[@L0KeD]

I think that is great ! :) and keep eating good food sometimes if that makes you happy ! thank you so much for your answers

[@ramanamek8166]

when is the best time to do it? morning right after waking up or it doesn't matter?

[@simonaaltmann759]

Siete davvero fantastici!!!

[@Prodbxngtxn]

Thanks for the tips

[@nancyspradling9290]

I have Lupus with pain in my joints. I started your Hiit Low Impact. My question is how many 10 minute workouts do I do per day or week. Thank you so much!

[@princessconsuelabananahamm9137]

Love it!!

[@BONKOYT]

It seems like the right side of my headphones were HIIT

[@L0KeD]

thank you for your answer ! :) But what is for you a good diet ? if you could explain more please it would be nice

[@sullyb23511]

So, HIIT twice a week, with slow state carduo, like walking, everyday?

[@sparklewish80]

awesome!! thanks for the info. :)

[@L0KeD]

thank you very much ! :)

[@Subwo0f3r]

My left ear enjoyed this

[@Ummuyousef]

you are just so cute together..i love you both and i am so addicted to fitness blender..thank you guys ..

[@markzuckerberg3434]

How many mins of hiit enough daily?

[@AnkitTripathyimank]

18 kmph for a minute, 8 kmph for the consecutive minute and then back to 18kmph for another minute. go till you can or till you start to feel your throat constrict. best so far...

[@lilianfuentes4371]

thank you! ❤❤❤

[@keikeidd3580]

Such a cute couple! :) Thanks a lot guys! I'm extremely out of shape and I'm so glad i found out about this workout! :D

[@walangtube]

i love you guys! :)

[@chrissiestevens1001]

I also have similar issues to LOKeD & wonder if you've answered this question yet? I'm way too skinny and would like to build healthy muscle mass at the same time as toning my upper arms, abs, glutes & thighs. I'm 53, 112lbs (just lost precious 5lbs) & am 5'8" tall. I attended a gym 3 times/week this past winter & gained some healthy weight (weighed 125lbs!) & built a 6pack and biceps. In 3 months I've lost all that..

[@L0KeD]

thank you very much :)

[@kraiipaakkkaleem1016]

Can you please tell me about the specific HIIT exercise for brain power?

[@TheHardlikerock]

I Like you Guys,,youre so sweet! Nice Job again!! God Bless you!

[@pablodavidclavijo4609]

My left ear thanks this information

[@amandavuono1992]

Anyone else feel like ravenously hungry for a couple days after a good HIIT workout? Love them, but it's driving me nuts, I eat about 1700 calories a day when I workout and I'm still stomach growling hungry, I'm only 5'3" so I def don't need more food lol

[@junglepitts]

I feel hungry a bit after working out, like starving, because of all the calories burned. Just eat a light healthy snack and drink water, sometimes thirst masks itself like hunger. Just a thought lol.

[@benjaminchaston7202]

My definition of HIIT=Hell, It Is This

[@Totajee79]

Love fitness blender.

[@dziwwah]

haha yes i know but i cant go so long :D im beginner so i rather do 20-30 min low impact cardio. but im not sure that on other days 8 min hiit (dont know if i can do more) is enough - or what should i pair it with. :)

[@dylanstopicsofinterest2188]

Is this really good for fat loss and also what are good types of exercises to do I would really appreciate it if you reply

[@jayzeld.simbulan4248]

hello kelli. youre looking great as always.

[@goldenhazlenut]

there are longer HIIT routines, like 20-30 minutes or even longer :)

[@magdalenapawowicz9499]

Sorry if it's a silly question, but does HIIT with weights count as a strength workout?

[@tabsart5262]

Which kind of workouts are best for losing 2 pounds a week? And how often should you do them?

[@Desi_traveltales]

I have sedentary job, so how much time should I be spendin working out daily to see a significant difference in my body

[@xrya1]

10 yrs now

[@francysolvera1514]

are HIIT workouts more effective at burning fat for beginners than cardio+strength training?

[@ladiebug395]

The most effective is to combine both! Do HIIT as your cardio and strength train. Fitness Blender's 5 day challenges are a good example of how to structure your workouts.

[@nut2611]

i love running/jogging..can i do my normal jogging routine as hiit?like sprint for 1 minute and walk for 20 seconds and so on?

[@pelevizolonewolf5052]

thz is great...

[@patee5aa]

Hey, you say do HIIT max 4 times a week, are you talking about the 30 and 20 minutes HIIT videos or even the 5 and 10 minutes ones?? thanks for answering!!

[@akosbolemanyi9864]

I have a question. I do 3-4 times a week but how much time should it be? ( 1 hiit workout) Sorry for my English. :(

[@ankitlucky540]

👍👍

[@areegsiddig5925]

Would you consider interval running a HIT exercise? I run for 4 min at 6.0MPH and then walk for one at 4.0MPH. Also I am wondering I always worry about over working the same muscle group but how do I do cardio without impacting thigh muscles? any suggestions? thank you!!

[@ShahrukhKhan-eq5xs]

Can I do HIIT 6 days a week? Coz I really enjoy it and want to get better results, also I don't do any extreme diet, so I have a fear that I'll gain fat if I rest. Is it okay if I do 6 or 5 times a week, or should I mix some weight lifting as well?

[@v.m.p.8204]

Was this a pre-cursor or foreplay to their expected love-making or were they really talking about HIIT?

[@aja1453]

I like to exercise before breakfast, is it ok to do hiit training before breakfast?

[@L0KeD]

hey ! I have a question please, it would help a lot if you could answer ! First off all I would like to get fit and especially toned, the thing is that I am already pretty skinny (I've always been even if I don't eat so healthy...) so I'm scared by loosing things like my butt or tights and get extremly skinny which I would hate... However I do have fat but only on belly and arms. so : how could I get toned and loose especially my belly fat, without look like I have a children body ? thank you!!
