HIIT versus LIT (Sprinting vs Long Distance Running)

Created by Decius at | [+ favourites]
High Intensity Interval Training (high intensity, break, high intensity, break etc) versus Low Intensity Training (long distance running etc).

HIIT traumatizes your body, causing a more visible change in your body type. HIIT is superior after the workout phase as your body continues to adapt to new energy effenciency needs. HIIT knocks you out and post exercise you will not be able to operate in a normal manner.

LIT burns calories in a gradual manner during the exercise which results in much more calorie loss during actual exercise time. However, post-exercise your body does not react to trauma (because there is very little). You can resume your normal day after LIT and it detracts very little from your every day abilities.

HIIT is preferable as it is more enjoyable, more intense, and you will see results much quicker. It is much better for sport training. Most importantly, it is more difficult and you will rarely plateau before your body begins to melt and re-shape.

A quick easy way to do this efficiently is to find someone who is somewhat at your speed and cardio level and continuously do short sprints to a given destination as soon as one of you is ready to. This forces the weaker of the two to catch up and still gives the stronger a good workout. If speeds are too detached, make the stronger of the two run a slightly longer distance, or add obstacles.

...and drink water like a horse.

(Positive trauma, like negative trauma, can elicit spectacularly quick conditioning, be it physical (in the above circumstance) or mental/emotional as well. Discovering the optimal positive mental trauma is a little trickier than sprinting though)
