#45 HIIT Walking

Alive and Active Podcast | Faith and Fitness

Did you know that you can apply the concept of HIIT workouts to walking? HIIT stands for high-intensity interval training and is where you push hard for a certain amount of time at a higher intensity and then move to a lower intensity for a certain amount of time.

Because these workouts are intense we don’t recommend doing them more than 2-3 times a week.

?Inside our Alive and Active coaching program, you get access to our HIIT workout videos, but another great way to integrate HIIT workouts throughout your week is to do this when you’re walking, running, biking, etc.

You can apply the 10x1 workout easily to your walk. Or you can use the 10, 20, 30 workout. Honestly, I don’t think it matters too much on the time as long as you are pushing harder for a period of time and then slowing down.

A few benefits of HIIT walking (or workouts):

1. There is an afterburn effect after doing intervals that lasts several hours after the workout.
2. The recovery can be equal to the hard effort in terms of time.
3. Intervals are a safe way to increase heart rate for limited amounts of time before backing off to recover.
