How to do high intensity interval workouts to lose weight faster...

Hi, do you do your intervals all out?

I'm a 6'2 191 pound/male...I'm fairly active...haven't worked out hard in a few years, and I'm interested in trying to loose the flab i have and turn it into tight lean muscle...get almost ripped...

Hello first things first I'm a guy even though my name suggests other wise I'm almost 16 about 5'8 and around 202 pounds and even though I don't look as fat due to a heavy/thick frame I'm still dissatisfied I need to lose fat pretty much everywhere but my stomach and sides are my main concerns. But the thing is I CANT seem to put together a set work out and was hoping you could help?

Hey Adrian!

I am trying to lose 20 pounds in 4 weeks (Currently weigh 140; 5'6). I am starting with your interval workout and I will do that once a day along with diet and your at home chair workout. But I was wondering, if in order to meet my goal of 20 pounds in 4 weeks, should I do the intervals twice a day instead of one interval and the at home chair work out? Thank you so much!!!

Hi,
I have a quick question... Someone told me that High Intensity is not that good and is more focused on improving heart and lungs because, you only start burning fat after 20 minutes and once you get past a certain heartrate. Is this true? Also when do High Intensity on the tradmill im only burning around 150 calories at a time, is this right?

ummm I am 12 and Im going into highschool next year and want to lose some 'baby fat' I am going to do these worlouts but,,any suggestions to what to and not to eat?

~~thx soo much for the workouts~~

Please help, I havebeen on a raw diet and seem to have lost lost of muscle . I havenow looked at insuring to havemore healthy fats and to ensure more leafy greens along with nuts and seeds. I have seen a difference as this has also affectec my testosterone level.
Lately I have tried to do more intervals when working out, such as the sprints on a hill. I feel a difference. Can you give me any advice, I love the advice on your site.

Thank you in advance, this is great!

Hi, I wonder if you can give me other HIIT workouts for at home - I already do jumping jacks & ski steps but need other exercises as I feel like my body is becoming too familiar with those. I will get a jump rope to use in the back yard but do you know of anything else (I don't have the space indoors for at home running intervals). I'm already on your program to workout twice a day Mon, Tue, Thu, Fri with HIIT.
Thanks a lot Adrian.

hi..i weigh 167 pounds n my height is 5'5"...i want to lose about 25-30 pounds in the next 6 weeks. could u please help me..?

Im 21 years old. I weigh 143 pds, and I'm 5'2. I've eaten whatever I wanted all my life and didn't gain a pound. A year ago I got a car and within that time I gained 15 pds. I work out 5-6 times a week for 45 min a session. Is working out that much really not as good as working out 4-5 times a week? If so why?

Hello I'm 33 I'm 5'3 I way about 190 I would like to lose 50 or 60lbs.

My ankle and knee were badly injured and my ankle bothers me a lot so I cant run and it hurts at times to walk can u tell me the best and fastest way to lose weight especially in the upper stomach area. I am also a pretty heavy drinker what is the best beverage to partake of?? Thanks for your help

i love it .it really works

Adrian,
Today was my first day I ate fruits and vegetable, and white meat, every 3 - 4 times a day. Thanks for your encouragement with your videos, and talks. For a couple of years it been so hard for me, my fiancee was diagnosed with cancer, he went into chemo and radiation, I was so depressed, that I just wanted to eat, and do nothing, from work to the house, watch tv and watch spanish soap operas with my 80 years old cuban neighbor, widow, eating cuban food at night. Last Sunday I was infront of my computer, playing facebook games, and thinking if I could find someone to encourage me so I can look good and feel good about myself. Thanks God I found your website.

Man you kick ass! Thanks for the videos, they are really helpfull! Keep up the good work!

i'm 19, 5'5, and about 132-134 lbs.

i tried this today for the first time, and i realized the problem i'm having isn't really my leg mucles getting tired, it's just that my lungs aren't that great. i'm a smoker, and although i only have a few a day, i haven't gotten onto the "quit" level yet, and i realize that's diminishing my workout abilities.

you talk about knowing whether or not your workout was good enough because you won't want to do anything and wouldn't even consider doing this again for a few hours when you're finished. i went for 10 minutes [plus a 5 minute warm-up] on the treadmill, with 10 seconds of running at 7mph and 15 seconds of rest.
i don't think i'm pushing myself enough, yet i do.

what i mean by this, when i did this exercise i was sweating all over the place, my heart was beating out of my chest, and i thought i was going to collapse from lack of oxygen[slightly sarcastic, but close]. now i'm sitting here, 20 minutes later, and i feel like i could do it again. even when i stopped my legs were only very minimally tired.

is there any advice for improving my lungs other than just keep working at it? i don't know if the intensity i'm doing this at is going to help me, but with my breathing i was very close to not being able to finish what i did.

i've been trying to do this for a few days now, but i'm having trouble with my timing because of having to speed up/slow down my treadmill. would i get the same effect if i stood on the sides during my easy part instead of walking and having to keep adjusting the speed?

oh all right Adrian, i'll give it a try. i think i'll survive, won't kill me. lol

4.0 is hard to an extent, i don't think it's real hard since i'm sort of used to it. but i don't want to run on the treadmill, i don't think i'd like that. so maybe i'd have to use the bike. there's a level on there called "fat burn". i heard it's great for losing weight because it's harder than "manual".

yesterday i did cardio. my trainer had me do an hour, 30 minutes on 2 different machines. i chose the treadmill first then the bike. on both, i switched between hard and easy, on the treadmill i was walking fast at 3.8 and 4.0, then brought it back down to 3.5, then 3.0 when i wanted to cool down. for the bike i switched between fast and slow at different levels. is this considered an interval workout or just regular cardio?

for doing intervals on the treadmill, is 4.0 hard enough, for me it is, my trainer always makes me walk at 4.0 even though i hate it.

does jump roping really fast count for the hard part? then walking around my house for ten seconds count for the easy part?

wanted to know how to get the Look Good Naked DvD?

I'snt it so that u will build bigger muscles with hight intensity intervals? like gerilja? So ur saying that I will loose fat if I do gerilja intervals? and at the same time go on a weight loss diet..?

are u sure? because i dont want big mucles.. and with gerilja kardio i've heard u get that more easily.. since it's high intensity intervals..?!
or should I do 4*4 intervals.. (does that help u to loose fat faster?) combined with weight loss diet..? what should I do? gerilja or 4*4 intervals? or just normal running in 45 min?

i only have time to do one interval workout a day so. since i cant do it twice a day should i just spread the lost time on the free days?

are u sure? because I'snt it so that u will build bigger muscles with hight intensity intervals? like gerilja? So ur saying that I will loose fat if I do gerilja intervals? and at the same time go on a weight loss diet..?
