So, my training partner and I have decided that as good as doing HIIT sessions is we need to do something different that’s less counter productive to what we’re trying to achieve body wise.
Many people talk about constant low effort walking etc etc. So we thought we’d give it a crack. We normally burn around 600 calories in a 30 minute session of HIIT so didn’t expect to come anywhere near this during our cardio walking session.
We set the treadmill on an incline of 15% (as high as it would go) and set the pace at 5kph and cracked on.
Bloody hell fire. 8 minutes in and we’re both sweating, 20 minutes in and we up the pace to 5.5 then 6kph for the final 5 minutes. Just a little over 500 calories in 30 minutes and we where both sweating just as much as we would doing HIIT. However, I think the walking was actually a little bit harder than the usual cross trainer session. I was frankly blowing out my arse, and was loving every minute of it. Here’s to more walking sessions in the future (3 a week) and let’s see what happens.
What cardio session do you do that works for you?
