Video Rating: 4 / 5
they said that hiit does it (high intensity interval training)
do you thik that p90x triggers the afterburn effect?
So how do I know when the after burn effect has been triggered?
@WhisperingDeath1 If your sore the next day, you know it’s working.
@JustKhali Did he answer you? because I’d like to know the answer too
Damn so thats why I was losing mad weight last year… I’ll have to my old workouts I guess :D
how often do i workout a week and what days mon>rest>wed>rest>fri>rest>?
does insanity trigger the afterburn effect
i do cardio every other day for a half hour, my treadmill has a setting where it starts at 4.5 mph, and then each minute afterward increases by .5 mph. once it reaches 6.5 mph it decreases by .5 until it reaches 4.5 mph, and then repeats. would this more or less trigger the afterburn effect?
so you go over your limit/range for 30 mins then after burns will happen ?
@AndrewDaniele87 no, it wont untill youve lost all your belly fat
@MultiPeople100 – what gives you that idea? It has absolutely nothing to do with how much belly fat you have.
@SavageJay23 30 minutes is too long, you don’t need that much time. The key is INTENSITY not DURATION. working for a longer duration can actually cause the reverse effect by simulating cortisol output which would cause you to hold on to your fat stores. Work harder, for less time, and you will stimulate the afterburn effect.
@ThaOneChrisJONES that has nothing to do with it. Muscle soreness is not related to metabolism or the afterburn effect. However, if you find that you are warmer the next day – that your core temperature has risen slightly, and your hunger has increased, these can be used as good signs that the after-burn effect has been stimulated.
@JustKhali initially yes, but I have found that with P90x, many people end up overtraining a few weeks into the program and end up too sore, and with a high cortisol output. This is largely determined by your own personal recovery capacity, but at least for many women I have worked with, it ends up causing the reverse effect later on in the program. P90x works too much at once, and the central nervous system just can’t handle that for very long.
@NikeSBNikka23 yes, I’ve talked about HIIT a lot in different videos, and on my blog. There is a very specific sequence of HIIT that I have found to work the best, and won’t cause overtraining. Check out the rest of my videos for more info on that topic.
