Liking HIIT Doesn’t Make It Effective

Harsh? Maybe. But, at this point, it’s important to fight for truths in the murky, fraudulent world of the fitness business. 

Liking things is great. I like chocolate, but liking it doesn’t make it a useful store of nutritional value. Beyond the basic premise that “something is better than nothing” when it comes to exercise, it’s important that designing legitimate training that provides progression for those who participate, especially because it is both easy and critically important to its legitimacy. 

This isn’t a battle of training modalities, either. 

All kinds of training environments from running, bodyweight training, rowing, cycling, weightlifting, and any other niche you can imagine can be written to follow the most basic principles of training. But, most… don’t

Many corporate gym brands that shell out dopamine and progression less sweat sessions cannot make humans improve indefinitely and that’s a problem. It’s a problem because we need effective training choices and, frankly, they’re expensive. 

If the fittest people in the world and the most unfit in the world cannot find proper progression over time in a system, it isn’t an effective training system in the first place.

Find better!
