Re: Can You Do High Intensity Interval Training When You Have Health Conditions?
It depends on the health condition and its severity. I’ve found that, with certain conditions, adapting HIIT to be lower impact or less intense can still provide benefits.

Yes, I include weights in my HIIT sessions. Combining high-intensity intervals with weightlifting, like kettlebell swings or dumbbell snatches, ramps up the intensity and boosts calorie burn. It’s effective for building strength and endurance. I like how it keeps workouts dynamic and challenging, an...

Jogging and walking both have their benefits. I find jogging more intense and great for cardiovascular fitness, helping me burn more calories in a shorter time. Walking, on the other hand, is gentler on the joints and easier to fit into my daily routine. I often mix both depending on how I’m feeling...
