5 Times HIIT Could Be Dangerous for You

4. You did a HIIT exercise yesterday, HIIT should be high-intensity, so it is a high-intensity part. So it's not something you want to do for days in a row. In fact, most people should not do HIIT often. &'if you can do it every day, you're not doing it right,' says Holland. In general, it's a good idea to stick to one or two simple hard workouts, Holland said. So if you did a HIIT workout on Tuesday, do a recovery jog on Wednesday, or a cross training on Thursday. Take a few days off from HIIT and you'll give your joints, muscles and tendons a chance to recover from the last workout so they can recover stronger in the next. By the end of this week, you should have no more than three HIIT workouts under your belt.

if you are still not sure whether HIIT is suitable for you, please check the pre exercise screening test of Australian Medical College. You may also want to meet a sports physiologist for more guidance. Assuming you do a good job, this person can develop a HIIT protocol that suits your goals, preferences, and health levels, says Keating. You hate HIIT, so if you hate HIIT, it's not dangerous to do HIIT technically, but if you force yourself to do the exercise you're afraid of all the time, it's not good for your commitment to exercise. Although most people don't like HIIT exercise (except masochists), some people do hate HIIT exercise. &According to my experience, I have worked with some people, they are absolutely a few people, they don't like HIIT training very much, Keating said, for these people, HIIT is not a good choice, because they are unlikely to do so often, so as to see the benefits. If this sounds like you, you may want to find other forms of exercise. In other words, you may just not find the right flavor of HIIT. For example, if you hate using a treadmill, you may prefer to do interval exercise by bike. Or maybe you'd rather do weight exercises like jumping squats or push ups than traditional aerobic exercise. &'as long as you keep trying different exercises, if after all the experiments, you find that you really don't like HIIT, then don't do it, just like other exercises,' says Holland.
