Get the printable version of this seven-minute HIIT workout here!When it comes to high-intensity interval training (HIIT), the pros definitely outweigh the cons. While it may feel unpleasant to push your body to go faster and harder for that short time period, the rewards are worth it: HIIT helps you blast more belly fat, save time, and burn way more calories (even after your workout is long over) than a lower-intensity workout alone. A recent study published in the American College of Sports Medicine’s Health and Fitness Journal found that a few minutes of training at almost your max can accomplish all of this in way less time than a traditional workout.

Intermittent fasting (IF) has become the latest diet fad and the subject of several books. IF diets purportedly accelerate fat loss and some proponents go so far as to claim you can build muscle while fasting. Trouble is, in addition to losing fat, a study by Wilson et al (1) shows that you could also be losing muscle, or at the very least, not building muscle.Most IF plans tout the benefits of fasted weight training.

by Aaron Hewitt PA-C, Physician Assistant OrthoCarolina’s Sports Medicine CenterYou’ve likely heard of high-intensity interval training (HIIT), a type of workout that isn’t totally new, but is increasingly popular and can be confusing because there are so many types.Usually short in duration, the HIIT intervals incorporate intense periods of work followed by low-intensity segments or rest, increasing both your aerobic and anaerobic capacity.

Intermittent fasting: The good things it did to my body Posted by Amtul Q Farhat BBC:Many of the changes in my body when I took part in the clinical trial of an intermittent fasting diet, were no surprise. Eating very little for five days each month, I lost weight, and I felt hungry. I also felt more alert a lot of the time, though I tired easily. But there were other effects too that were possibly more important.During each five-day fasting cycle, when I ate about a quarter the average person’s diet, I lost between 2kg and 4kg (4.4-8.8lbs) but before the next cycle came round, 25 days of eating normally had returned me almost to my original weight.But not all consequences of the diet faded so quickly.“What we are seeing is the maintenance of some of the effects even when normal feeding resumes,” explains Dr Valter Longo, director of USC’s Longevity institute-MOREAll religions of world practice some kind of fastingShare this now!FacebookGoogleLinkedInRedditDiggStumbleUponEmailPrint Posted by Amtul Q Farhat on January 3, 2014.
