HEALTH & FITNESS | WORKOUTS

HIIT us with your best shot

 
Just in time for Heart’s Day, here’s an approach to exercise that’ll get your ticker in tip-top shape. “With High Intensity Interval Training (HITT), you push yourself hard for one minute, then bring the intensity down for one minute, then start all over again for a 30-minute cycle,” says Olney, MD-based personal trainer Beth Novick. “The best part is, you control just how hard and how easy you want to go.”

 

Bonus: Intervals have also proven to increase endurance and blast away fat three times faster than steady cardio. Here’s a workout that’ll really get your heart racing.

 

30 minute HIIT Workout

Hop on a treadmill or elliptical (don’t have access to machines? Hit the track, instead).

Minutes 1 to 5: Walk or jog easy

Minute 6: Intensity level 6

Minute 7: Intensity level 9
Minute 8: Intensity level 7
Minute 9: Intensity level 9
Minute 10: Intensity level 7
continue cycle until Minute 25
5 Minute cooldown

Can we do this on a stationary bike instead? I don't have a tread or elliptical, only a bike. Will this be as effective or less or more effective? Thanks!Smile (Also, if I do this 2-5 X a week paired with some ab work, will I see results by Summer?) Thanks again, mod, you're the best!!Smile

Hey babe,

A stationary bike will work just as well!

And if you continue this workout plan and eat relatively healthily, then yes, you should start to see some tone in the next few weeks.

I wouldn't recommend doing it more than 3 times a week though, especially early on.  Your body needs a full day's rest in between workouts to recuperate. Jordan S.

I've been working on toning up for the past 3-4 months. I do arm curls,crunches, leg press,planks, etc. and go on the treadmill for 30 to 45 minutes almost everyday!But still no abs nor arms muscle(legs are toned now Laughing). I still have a bit of fat near my belly button that I can't get rid of. I heard that running in the only way to get rid of it. I have a hard time running due to an old sports injury. On the treadmill I do full incline with a slow jog. Do I need to do more? Is running the only way?




Hey girlie,

That's awesome! You have a great routine here. Stick with it! 3-4 months feels like a long time and you've obviously seen some results (congrats on the toned legs!), but it's not really long enough to get totally toned all over. That takes time! But you're seriously dedicated and it'll totally pay off Smile Try cutting out junk food and making better diet choices, while still making sure you're getting enough calories and healthy foods. Then just stick to your routine and be patient!

Ok so I need help I can't stop eating! like when I'm at home just watching tv or doing homework I'll just get up and grab something to eat and then afterwards I feel terrible! how can I stop myself from eating like this???? I don't think I'm over weight but I'm not the health weight I want to be. I complain to my mom and she says that I'm skinny but I just feel like she's obligated to say that because she's my mom. I just don't know what to do anymore I'm tired of eating!!!




Hey girlie,

I learned something in Health class once that stuck with me FOREVER. My teacher said this: your mind develops habits even when it comes to eating. So if you eat while you're sitting on the couch watching TV and you do it often, your mind will always associate "sitting and watching TV" with "eating." It'll crave food because it's used to always doing those two activities together! Same goes with homework. You have to break those habits by filling that activity with something else. When you're watching TV and start craving a snack, try hopping up and doing 30 crunches instead. Or get a water bottle to satisfy the craving. For homework, reward yourself with a healthy snack halfway through or do something totally different, like write in your journal, listen to a song, or take a walk around the block. You gotta commit to this and use your self-control, instead of giving into these habits so quickly. You'll feel way better about yourself!!!

I'm kinda chunky and i work out and eat healthy.... what else can I do?




Hey girlie,

The best things to do are: cut out junk food, vary up your workout so you target different areas each day and give your body a challenge, and the most important...remember to love the body you have. You have a very healthy body if you've been eating right and exercising! That's something to really be proud of. Some people are naturally built different than others. That's not to say you CAN'T be skinny, but that your body is just meant to have curves. And they're beautiful! <333

You can't spot reduce, chica.  If you're gonna' get rid of that, you gotta' stick with cardio and overall good eating!

Ok so I have a problem
I have been on and off sick like I have had pneumonia twice a sinus infection twice an ear infection once and I currently have mono!!!! It's a lot and this all started in the beginning of september I have missed over 65 days of school
School is being nice about homework and stuff.
But I just feel like I have just been to sick
My sister called me a "mess" because I have Been so sick
I don't know what to do to stay healthy
Please don't give me advice like
-drink fluids
-do to the doctor (I have gone ten times)
-get lots of rest
Ect
Actually any advice helps!!
Thanks

 

I think you need to stock up on vitamin c. That will help build you immune system and get you stronger and able to fight this sickness. However theres not a lot of other advice i can give you. Keep up on your school work and try not to fall too far behind. Your sickness will fade and things will get better Smile xoxo kerra

MOD MOD MOD!!!! this is random, but are pickles bad for you?

 

Not even a little bit!

There are all kinds of good vitamins from the cucumber, and then the pickle juice has healthy electrolytes.

I already do the 30 minute workout room at my gym! Between every machine is a step, so you do machine for a minute, rest for 30 seconds, then do steps/calf lifts/knee raises/lunges/whatever for a minute. Then repeat on the next machine! It's really cool because all of the machines work a different part of your body.
