2009A Word About HIIT And Training Intensity
Filed Under (Mico Fitness) by Admin on 27-04-2009
While I don’t believe that High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) is the only worthy form of cardio, I do firmly believe it is the ideal form of cardio for those individuals who are looking to lose weight and lower body fat for reasons addressed in my Understanding EPOC article.

2009Myth Busting: Fitness in Pregnancy

“Pssst!” I looked over at the woman laying next to me on the hard gym floor, both of us in a cesspool of our sweat courtesy of the bootcamp class we were doing. At first I wasn’t sure if her noise was just a loud exhale during a sit-up but then she continued. “Aren’t you not supposed to do these?”
“Huh?” I grunted and kept on sitting up and laying back down. (sidenote: If aliens watch us they must be so confused.)
“I thought you couldn’t do sit-ups when you’re pregnant?”
Ah. And there it was. You think people have lots of opinions about your exercise routine now, just wait until your pregnant. (And then, if you think that’s bad – wait until you have the kid. Perfect strangers will stop you in the grocery store on an 90 degree day to inform you haven’t put a hat and socks on your baby.) The thing is, most of them are very well meaning. But there’s a lot of confusion out there about what exactly is safe for us two-fer humans on the gym floor.
