I'm an idiot /fit/izen 05/05/19 (Sun) 19:50:51 efe244 No.147967

after doing jogging 3 times a week for 30 minutes the past 6

months, im fed up. im not planning on doing any marathons any

time soon, and the sessions typically increase estrogen and

cortisol.

so after getting bored of it, im going to replace my jogs with a

~4-15min HIIT sprinting session.

it will get my legs stronger and i will be much faster, without thinking

about a situation in which I would have to run flat out for more than an hour

this should give me immediate results in body fat content, as well as

getting my testosteron through the roof, not to mention it being short and sweet.

I know at this point of my training that there are no shortcuts to motivation

and that you just have to make a decision to wake up early and get out there

but there is no denying the attraction of HIIT

Which one of you anons implement HIIT (particularly sprinting or burpees)

into your routines and what have you noticed about your physique and

overall mood after at least a month of repetition?

I think discipline is more valuable than motivation, but if you have the two the better.

bump.

i know this sounds like a fat thread but Im far from it.

im mostly just pissed off at myself and others for encouraging jogging; that's something

that should primarily be aimed at overweight people.

i can say, however, that aiming for a 30 minute jog

has been a fun goal for me and now I have become totally comfortable with it, and even been adding a weighted backpack for the past month and a half because of how easy it has become.

so by no means am I discouraging jogging as a fitness thing.

I guess I've just graduated to the next level.

If you are on this board and looking for advice AND also in relatively good shape, DONT i repeat DO NOT start off with jogging.

I only wish to point out these flaws:

it's mostly a waste of time

fasted cardio is boring

HIIT is almost 300% better for fat loss and testosterone

prolonged jogging is hard on your body and feet, and knees

it increases cortisol which makes you more exhausted and slows recovery time

HIIT can also help build muscle

I hope I have added something to the knowledge pool with this.

There is plenty of information out there to support this but I hope someone that is new here can refer to this as something NOT to do.

I feel I have wasted enough time NOT losing weight and building muscle and wish for others not to make the same mistake; i could be way better off at this point if someone had said this.

someone has been following david goggins' advice.

you are correct but from a perspective of just wanting to get shit done, and looking good aesthetically. it's far better to have that drive by having an exciting workout to look forward to rather than the "dreaded" 3 mile per morning run.

>>tl;dr listen to your bodies. if you're a guy, you'll naturally be more drawn to do the workouts that will put you in great shape

edit:

for my breakfast after the fasted workout,

I chose super high testosterone boosting foods such

as onions, garlic, almonds, figs, eggs, steak, etc…

I also made a bomb ass oatmeal with cinnamon

and various fruits including mangos, strawberries, etc.

so that the combination of glucose(complex carb)

and fructose (fruits in oatmeal) and lean meat (steak cooked almost raw)

just made my insulin response that much better.

nah. when you get more experienced, you'll realize that there is an optimal mode where you're taking in the right nutrients, and expending calories that will affect your hormones.

update: i feel way better after a week of doing the HIIT sprints. the first day was only 4 x 30 sprint, 30 rest, then 3rd day was 4 x 30 sprint, 90 rest, and I will go up and up till I can do 8 x 30/90

the difference is I feel WAY more energy and just better overall. I feel the results will come with time
