Not exactly on topic as I'm all for HIIT training but the name is shit, most fitness / health and well being brands try to promote strong not skinny, as skinny is synonymous with anorexia.

It was the name that put me off before I understood what it was. I don't like skinny being used in fitness/diet stuff, and I don't want to be thought of as a pig either :lol:
 
They've built themselves up well, there's loads on my Facebook do it. It is a bit weird how much people bang on about it though.

Saying that tho it's better than juice shite which cons women into thinking they are on a diet that really works when actually they just lose weight because they are starving themselves.

Agree - skinny is not a good term, and I don't know why women would want to be skinny either - it's a rather negative image IMO. I suppose most of the people doing it are so far off skinny that it's like some kind of extreme unattainable target to make them sweat more. But it shouldn't be and has risks.

The main issue I have with this stuff is that most of the people doing it want to lose weight, not become athletes. And the way to lose weight is to eat less.

Fuck that man. It's not pre season training, it's some housewives trying to lose a few pounds.

Calories are calories at the end of the day mate. HIIT in an ideal world is best for those hitting a plateau at a bodyfat percentage that they want to lower. If someone did 45 mins of HIIT vs someone who did 45 mins of steady jog/walk then HIIT wins for calories burnt I imagine depending on intensity.

Here is an example of the two routes I could choose tomorrow which will burn the same amount of calories......

A) I am going to go for a 3 hour walk, wont get out of breath once and wont be taxing on my body or central nervous system. I have burnt a load of calories because of the amount of time I walked for.

B) Go to skinnypigs/or do some HIIT training at the gym for 45 minutes. I will be dripping in sweat and absolutely fucked! Will probably boot the cat out of the window when I get home from my session as my body has been taken to the limit and I just want to eat and go to bed!

Person A and B are likely to burn the same calories (probably person A even more). At the end of the day when I check my fitbit and see I have burnt say 3500 calories, my body doesnt know I have did HIIT, played footy, wanked into a flannel etc, it just knows I have burnt 3500 calories.

So to answer the question @Frijj :lol:, calories burnt at the end of the day are exactly that. HIIT can create the burning of calories after your workout, whereas slow steady state will cease almost as soon as you stop, but when clock strikes midnight its what shows on your monitor/fitbit.

So are you saying HIIT is better than cardio for weight loss or not?

Not. In general and to majority of people its down to how many calories you burn. Whether you achieve your main calorie burn from HIIT training for 45 mins or a 2 hour walk, if the calories are the same, then they are the same.

You sir are a complete wanker.

As a lad, I really wanted to study Whales as a hobby but they are just a bunch of fat bastards they eat too much fish and should cut down. I bet they'd like a maccy'd's or a sundays dinner

In an astonishing twist of fate, the feminists have taken sides with Herbal against the Skinnypigs owner.
