Day 182: HIIT Cardio (20sec sprint, 1min recovery) |
Disclaimer: By doing my workouts and blogging it online here, I’m not seeking attention, nor am I an exhibitionist. I’m the type that follow-through my training much better if I put it in writing. I workout because I can. So do not try to emulate my program, I bear no responsibility if you do so. I’m no role-model, nor am I’m a national athlete, I’m just a nobody. Just leave me be.
Well it’s back to HIIT Cardio again for today. It’s wise to restrict to just two session of HIIT Cardio per week due to its intensity.
For today my old training buddy joined me again, and we headed to the training location to the open field behind Singapore Sports School by jogging there.
The jog was around 10 minutes and is considered our warm-up. Once ready, off we went for our anticipated high intensity interval training.
The workout in total was less than 20 minutes, but oh boy was we sweating real hard. There was some hard panting, but I recovered fully within 15 minutes of the end of the workout.
However, the lasting aching feeling on my bum was still there, and persist for the next hour or so. But I’m feeling alright now, as I’m writing this entry before I retire to sleep.
Workout of the Day
20 seconds sprint, 1 minute jog recovery
7 sets
You shouldn’t feel lactic acid
You should be feeling your bum aching and be out of breath
The thing I like about HIIT is that it offers an all-day fat burning experience. I also like the fact that it can be done in less time than the usual slow-going cardio.
At times such steady state of working might prove negative to you, when you enter a catabolic state in which you will start losing muscle mass.
The thumb-rule is that if you start to feel too burnt out, just simply back off the high intensity interval training.

You’re recovery interval (active rest) is far too long.
Try an 10:15 work:rest interval ratio.
