Ok so I read the sticky and it was EXTREMLY helpful. But since I am so overweight I have a few questions that apply to people like me.
For instance, I don't want to run outside so I walk/jog on a thread mill. My MRH is 194 and it said my resting is about 70+ I think. I walk and the jog for 1 min and get my HR up to about 175, then I walk again and it goes down to 150-, then jog again for 1 min at 175+, etc. Sometimes I have to walk longer than 1 min to get my HR down.
Is this in general the same thing as H.I.I.T.? I can't run right now...I am 361 lbs and jogging is about all I can handle atm. Is how I am jogging a safeway to do it?
I was boxing at home for a month and lost 20 pounds and now to avoid a wall I decided to start jogging and work up to running. I want to make sure I am burning different kinds of fuels to get the most out of my work out.
I workout for 30 mins. Walking is at 2.7mph and Jogging is at 4.5-5 one min of each. HR ranges from 175 to 140. I want to do H.I.I.T. but I am not sure if I am doing it correctly. My diet is locked down and now that I have lost 20 pounds I am really really worried that the walking and jogging isn't going to be enough to keep losing( I am very paranoid). All in all I am looking for some reassurance on how I jogg. Be truthfull please, a little reassurance goes along way with me.
