A part of my daily walks includes a run up a hill that gives me a good intensive component, and then I continue my 3 mile walk. It has really made a difference! 2 1/2 years healthy keto and IF, and I'm still maintaining my 144 pound weight loss! Thank you Dr. Berg!!

Stop to share my testimony. Two weeks ago you share a video on high pulse rates? Long story short .I was able to get to the doctor in a timely manner on the same morning. May God Blessed your channel. Over and beyond.
Thank you. This makes so much sense. I’ve been walking between 5 to 6 miles a day and there has been progress with weight loss but the high intensity seems to be more beneficial. Thank you again for all of your wisdom and education
I mix HIIT two days a week with low intensity cardio the rest of the week. I learned to avoid staying "in the middle". According to my fitness tracker, my VO2 max has increased from 46 to 51 in about one year.
Yeah. Movement is important to the heart. As well as taking care of yourself on the metabolic level (e.g. good keto and fasting) as the doctor talks about. At the same time, it should be remembered about vitamin K2, B3, B6 and B12 as well as magnesium if someone is particularly concerned about heart problems. There is a lot of information about it. Here I can recommend "A brief collection of unknown facts about vitamins and minerals" if someone wants to learn more. Best regards.
Agree. With vitamin K2-MK7 we can prevent calcifications in the blood vessels. My parents take ADEK, B complex as well as magnesium and iodine. They feel very well even though they are already in their 80s.
I use spinning bike for my HIIT program, (no pounding allowed) because I have OA on the knees. I was getting bored with regular steady cardio. Ive started doing HIIT just recently and I already feel and see the difference. Good luck to everyone!!
Dr. Berg is always correct in his videos. I remember a study about ultra marathon runners (100 miles) having cardiac muscle tears because they were actually over stressing their hearts. Thank you Dr. Berg for your videos.
Been doing HIIT sprints for the last 4 years. Love it. Used to have a lot of hip, back and knee pain from biking & sitting (school+gaming). No doctors was able to help me, so I quit biking and did less sitting. It helped, but not quite. So I thougth what are humans meant to do.... it's not bike, it's... SPRINTS! Let's go! Best desicion+habbit I've made to my life. Greetings from Norway.
@@franconero585 follow bowflex channel, they are amazing. The videos are short, 5 mins . I’ve been doing this for quite some time. 5 minutes summer body workout part, 1,2,3.
Excellent presentation ..Great job doc...Me personally I do five days of hiit cycling for half hour in intervals with half minute high intense riding and half a minute pause.....In summer i do hiit swimming while swimming fast laps for 1 munute with 1 minute pause in 1 hour ....This is way much better than aerobic exerise
Ever since I found Dr. Berg's videos and channel, my health and health knowledge have improved exponentially! Currently I've been following your IF and keto plans and I am probably the healthiest I have been since I was 18...actually probably better because I smoked then. Thank you so much Dr. Berg!

Sprint 100m and then slow walk 100-200m and repeat 5x ! Heart rate must be at zone 1 at the new start, for example if your zone 1 is 100bpm and after sprint your max zone 7 is 170bpm. Do not start another sprint until your heart rate drops around 100bpm, whatever time it takes..if you are fit, it should drop withing 1 min.
Thank you. I've been very unfit most of my life. Anytime anyone mentions "HIIT" training, they give you like a 30 second to 1 min break in between and keep trying to make the rest periods shorter and shorter. I am never going to recover that quickly. So I'm going all out and then don't get a chance to recover. Thank you for emphasising the importance of REALLY recovering and giving your heart a chance to rest. When taking longer breaks or 2-3 minutes people can look a you like you're being lazy 😂
I been doing HIIT training for more than 15 years and here are the benefits. I am 38 yrs old & I look like 25. One of the most challenging HIIT workout is Plyometric training, I do box jumps 30 rep × 5 sets for 1 minute followed by 2 minutes of rest btw sets, my heartbeat jumps to 200 beat per minute, yes I am not joking here it's very intense. I've lost body fat very fast with no change in diet, I consume lot of oily fats, carbs and protein. I got no health issues so far. I'll never go back to long duration Cardio ever. If you are overweight or obese you can do it on Spinning Bike and you would still lose body fat.
I do very high intensity workouts. I take my sets to failure and with certain things like pushups, my heart races ! Most sets are about a minute with calisthenics. I let it slow down before I do my next set. Hopefully, I'm on the right track.
Thanks very much for your advice Dr Berg, I do HIIT for my strength training (currently mainly pull ups and dips.) I also do hill sprints combined with jogging on level ground, I'm around 95kgs and this type of training works very well for me.
I'm doing HiiT but only 16 minutes 3 days a week and it has dropped my blood pressure 20 points. I have always worked out with weights but as I aged my BP went up. I'm 70. I get on an elliptical machine and get my heart rate up to at least 85% of maximum and keep it there for 4 minutes then rest a minute or 2. And I do that in four 4 minute intervals. You can get your maximum heart rate for your age by subtracting your age from 220. I feel better too.
The anaerobic/aerobic benefits of singles Tennis which recruits almost every muscle in the body, requires Omni-directional movement and demands quick reflexes is one of the most comprehensive forms of exercise that exists!
Great Video Dr B however I somewhat disagree . We should have variety in our exercise routine. One should strife to have a solid Aerobic system. Sprinters run really fast because they spend equal if not more time running longer and slower. What’s harmful in long term is overtraining consistently at 85-90% of your max heart rate. Lower intensity at target HR aids in metabolizing fat for energy which has great benefits. Thank you for all the Great content you share !!
This is exactly what I was looking for. After I heard a cardiologist research on long distance running and heart problems. I was crushed I thought I was doing everything right. So, I was curious on how hiit effects the heart. Ty! I'm not a athlete anymore so I'm playing the longevity game and I think hiit makes more sense.
Thank you Dr Eric Berg. I used your advice and I lost about 6 kgs over 8 weeks. I get up and do a mixture of cardio and weights. My son is also losing weight.

Cardio strengthens the heart and helps the pulse rate drop quicker I have noticed since I have been doing long distance running if I don't eat sugar it drops back to normal almost instantly even after high intensity workouts! Edit: I have learned alot about nutrition and causes for health problems from this channel and I am now realizing the benefits when eating the right foods and looking after my body every day and I am encouraging my family to do the same thank you doc 👍🏼
Yes dont do the next cycle of high intensity activity until you get your breath back and are ready, the times are all subjective and ignore all the specific time guidelines some fitness ''gurus''websites present. Everyones resting time is different and can develop in time, I do what suits me, not just in breath capacity but I feel the exerted energy in my bones too, they need to increase in condition too, so someone elses ''times'' is not my guideline. Find what works for you safe.
My mom used to be an athletic athlete, those jumping and running stuff (hurdles), and lived in the state’s athletes training school. Well long story short, she developed sick sinus syndrome, kicked out of her athlete training program, and got pacemaker implanted, 3x replaced already over 25 years. Edit: she used to run 45 km or 28 miles daily, everyday before breakfast.
Hiit training, like the name implies requires, High Intensity activity that is done in Intervals. Like the Dr. explained in the video there needs to be a period of high intensity activits, the duration depends on you followed by a very low intensity follow up activity that allows for enough heart beat rest to turn to near resting rate, followed by the high intensity activity once again. So a stairs can be used for this, but the variability in the speed/intensity needs to be there for it to provide the benefits of Hiit. However, stairs are a dangerous surface area to do such a activity and I would not recommend it, just in case an accident does occur, the surroundings may not be ideal, especially if one is new to training of any kind, let alone HIIT.
there was a study out of England I think, HIT for 3 minutes 3x a week. Improvements in diabetes was the thing that caught my eye. Some people don't benefit from it...a small percentile.
My guideline for me is to do cardio (majority sprint training with very little jogging) but without causing cortisol to secrete. Must beware with longer cardio.
Your rest periods for HIIT way too long ie.Tabata 20:10.For it to be effective body's energy stores have to be depleted and not restored too quickly.Burpees excellent. Also check out The One Minute Workout where labs did testing.
I'm tying to take small steps to lower my blood pressure and thus cardio to make my heart more healthier and efficient. Seen so many conflicts from HIIT vs 40 mins of steady cardio. The lazy person in me only wants to do short but intense 😂
For me, whenever I feel an ibs flare up starting to come on, despite the fatigue i may be feeling, i go for a hiit which is mainly squats. 160 squats with rests per 40 and it stops it in its tracks. I dont know what exactly happens coz I cant find anyone that says anything like that about it but it works. Cutting through the fatigue and actually doing it is the problem coz it is difficult but once you start the rest is history.
And the risk of injury is reduced as well. The American military have known the benefits of HIT for some time. They concluded the best exercise for fitness? Weighted hikes where intense periods of exertion are followed by periods of rest. Gives credence to the old saying in the French Foreign Legion, "march or die."
Hello, first that I appreciate every single study/information Dr.Berg shares with us; secondly, does walking counts as rest for the parasympathetic nervous system? Or I actually need to sit down, breath and "relax"?
Muscle growth demands resistance training of some sort, no matter the diet type a person may be on. There are many types of resistance training, you can choose one that suits you.
@@seriouslyawesomegirls8638 Ohh ok, my apoligies for not truelly comprehending your initial post. I too have insulin resistance and am on keto and fasting. And do resistance training (with weights) for muscle building. And Hiit training for cardiovascular health. However, I have trimmed down my daily exercises enough to prevent the excessive cortisol, as I would train to ''death'', now not so much. Regarding cortisol, its not the type of exercise rather the exertion you put out. I think one needs to find a sweet spot in their training, you need both the muscle fatigue and you need to not push to hard to be swimming in cortisol. Best wishes.
@@KenanTurkiye thank you very much for taking the time to put in so much information. I used to over exercise too but I don't anymore. In fact I had to take a 3year sabbatical from work outs as my body is exhausted. So how many times a week should I do a HIIT workout?
@@seriouslyawesomegirls8638 I'm pleased if I'm of the slightest help. Regarding your question about Hiit weekly frequency, I would first like to remind that Hiit is a ''tool'' for better cardiovascular, hormonal and circulation health. If one doesn't need them or if doing Hiit detriments in some way other parts of current status of health I would prioritize the issues that needs resolving first. But generally speaking both Hiit and resistance training (for muscle building) has been known to benefit people from even once a weekly frequency. Everyones different with differenct conditions and needs so theres no ''ideal'' set frequency as theres too many variables. Best is to check with ones doctor and see what they can accomodate in their current health status and life commitments.
You need high protein to take advantage of the growth hormone to increase muscle mass. You also need gycogen to perform properly for HIIT, but apparently you don’t advise people to eat a lot of protein and carbohydrates, thats why you only do 12 ball slams and your tired
Everyones health aims and ambitions are different. Dr. Berg at his age and wants is doing the right thing. But for someone wanting to build extra amounts of muscles and be identified as someone ''lifting'' they can play around with the amount of protein intakes and change their 12 ball slams to other exercises. Its not just to compare apples to pears. Growth hormone is not merely used by our bodies to build muscles. Have you observed many enchanced (read growth hormone using) bodybuilders, did you notice how many of them have protrusions of bone on both sides of their skull? Growth hormone is not merely beneficial for muscle mass. You dont need externally supplemented glycogen to perform Hiit. I dont want to bore you at the moment with how I (like many) train on keto and fasted. But I will provide some study summaries below which may add to your perspective, enjoy:::: ''con study'': I could not source the proper date for this study as its a clipping from ''healthline'' article, and commentary: ''Researchers from Saint Louis University tested the anaerobic exercise performance of 16 men and women following either a low-carbohydrate ketogenic diet or a high-carbohydrate diet for four days. People on the ketogenic diet performed more poorly at anaerobic exercise tasks than those eating more carbs. Depending on the task, their performance was 4 to 15 percent lower than the high-carbohydrate group. The study was published.....in the Journal of Sports Medicine and Physical Fitness. Study author Edward Weiss, PhD, associate professor of nutrition and dietetics at Saint Louis University, said that the results could make a big difference to athletes involved in sports that depend on short-burst anaerobic activities. In light of these results, he advised athletes to AVOID these diets ....... While this is a SMALL study and people were on the two diets for only a FEW days......'' ---> my commentary: a conclusion done on an eating regiment of only a few days, no standardisation of variables, no details of the participants? the participants stools !!! cant even change in that time let alone establish the metabolic necessities to be qualified as keto, this is PhD SCIENCE ??? Just as the duration of the diets is not applicable to establish fat adaptation in keto status, I wouldn't be surprised if the participants in ''low carb'' as the article claims are actually well beyond keto carb levels, now allowing any such a transition, and probably still intaken-carb relient metabolic wise. As they found 4 !!!! percent discrepencies between low carb vs high carb. 4 percent !!!, on such a study, and like studies are passed around from article to article to fitness influencers and ''experts''. :end of my commentary. 70% VO2max, increases in fat oxidation were associated with decreased economy (increased oxygen consumption), and in some cases, increased ratings of perceived exertion and heart rate. Two investigations in recreationally active endurance athletes noted no vigorous intensity exercise decrement following 3- and 12-week adaptations. Moderate (70-85% one repetition maximum) and near-maximal to maximal intensity (>85% 1RM) strength performance experienced no decrement following a 3-12-week KD adaptation. Beneficial effects were noted for 2000 m sprint and critical power test completed for short duration at vigorous intensity, while two additional tests noted no decrement. For sprint, near-maximal exercise (>91% VO2max), benefit of the KD was observed for six-second sprint, while no decrement in performance was noted for two additional maximal tests. When protein is equated (grams per kilogram), one investigation noted no decrement in muscle hypertrophy, while one noted a decrement. One investigation with matched protein noted the KD group lost more body fat. In conclusion, moderate-to-vigorous intensity exercise experiences no decrement following adaptation to a KD. Decreases in exercise economy are observed >70% VO2max in trained endurance athletes which may negate performance within field settings. Beneficial effects of the KD during short duration vigorous, and sprint bouts of exercises are often confounded by greater weight loss in the KD group. With more athletes pursuing carbohydrate-restricted diets (moderate and strict (KD)) for their proposed health benefits, more work is needed in the area to address both performance and health outcomes.''
As with most things, I think the broader expanse of human history might be the best model to help us decide which exercise modality is most appropriate. So, from a historical perspective, I think we should do a combination of HIIT and low intensity long sessions. If you think about it, for most of our history, our bodies were accustomed to doing a bit of both to help us survive. Given that hunting - an activity that we have done longer than any other activity - required long walks, punctuated by sprints, it stands to reason that our exercise routines should mimic this variety.
Thank you for sharing Dr. Berge. You are a blessing to me and i appreciates all ,your time and continuous dedication towards helping me so i will always try and make better choices 😊 . I THANK YOU 😊 🙏
Hey Dr Berg! Thanks for the content! I just wanted to ask, I have an under the desk treadmill. Is it alright if I walk on it for the majority of the day?
This is very timely for me as I am going through cardio rehab at this time. When I questioned the people running the program about this they said it is not good for your heart to stress it too much too early. But I said how do I improve my cardiac condition without pushing it into the higher rate for some interval?
Might wait to do HIIT til you are finished with rehab. I assume you had some type of heart surgery? There are all kinds of free workouts here on YT you can do at home with little to no equipment. Check some of that out after you are released from rehab.
@@dianasimplifies Been two months since six stents total in three arteries... six weeks of rehab low intensity tread mill type exercise just about finished with it. Want/need to do more so I guess I will have to do it on my own.
@@TalkingGIJoe yes I'm sure you will! Not to knock the med establishment or anything but I feel like most have no clue what they are doing. They do whatever CDC, AMA etc say and they don't think outside the box any. If you find a Dr or PT that does think outside the box you are BLESSED!!!
Hi Dr. Eric, is it possible to have a high cholesterol level with normal blood pressure? and some studies saying that the Keto diet triggers high cholesterol?
I did that 1min Pulse Test. Resting : 62-64 After 1min High Knees Sprint : 130 After 1min Rest : 90 After 30 min : ~85 why it is still this high after this rest

Yes dont do the next cycle of high intensity activity until you get your breath back and are ready, the times are all subjective and ignore all the specific time guidelines some fitness ''gurus''websites present.
Everyones resting time is different and can develop in time, I do what suits me, not just in breath capacity but I feel the exerted energy in my bones too, they need to increase in condition too, so someone elses ''times'' is not my guideline. Find what works for you safe.
OMG!! I was thinking about this just a few hours ago!! Thanks!! = DDD
My mom used to be an athletic athlete, those jumping and running stuff (hurdles), and lived in the state’s athletes training school. Well long story short, she developed sick sinus syndrome, kicked out of her athlete training program, and got pacemaker implanted, 3x replaced already over 25 years.
Edit: she used to run 45 km or 28 miles daily, everyday before breakfast.
Great information. Thank you for getting right into the topic. You are explaining everything very well.
@Dr Berg what about running or walking up the stairs is that a form of hit training
Sounds like it to me
@@Carol-wq9fr thanks
Hiit training, like the name implies requires, High Intensity activity that is done in Intervals.
Like the Dr. explained in the video there needs to be a period of high intensity activits, the duration depends on you followed by a very low intensity follow up activity that allows for enough heart beat rest to turn to near resting rate, followed by the high intensity activity once again.
So a stairs can be used for this, but the variability in the speed/intensity needs to be there for it to provide the benefits of Hiit.
However, stairs are a dangerous surface area to do such a activity and I would not recommend it, just in case an accident does occur, the surroundings may not be ideal, especially if one is new to training of any kind, let alone HIIT.
@@KenanTurkiye thank you for this detailed reaponse brother this info much need
Yes
What about if you do short cardio workouts - like say, just for 20 minutes at a time - along with hiit training? Would that be a good way to go?
there was a study out of England I think, HIT for 3 minutes 3x a week. Improvements in diabetes
was the thing that caught my eye. Some people don't benefit from it...a small percentile.
What would you say about dancing Samba as training exercise?
So much GOLD here!!
I agree with the comedian who said they enjoy a good brisk sit🪑.
Sounds like that comedian is capable in causing high intensity bursts of laughter. :)
I love HIIT.. my cardio is Zumba, but HIIT + Keto = awesome me!
How about HITT incorporated into Longer cardio workouts i.e.running, biking-pedaling not coasting.
My guideline for me is to do cardio (majority sprint training with very little jogging) but without causing cortisol to secrete.
Must beware with longer cardio.
Your rest periods for HIIT way too long ie.Tabata 20:10.For it to be effective body's energy stores have to be depleted and not restored too quickly.Burpees excellent. Also check out The One Minute Workout where labs did testing.
I'm tying to take small steps to lower my blood pressure and thus cardio to make my heart more healthier and efficient. Seen so many conflicts from HIIT vs 40 mins of steady cardio. The lazy person in me only wants to do short but intense 😂
For me, whenever I feel an ibs flare up starting to come on, despite the fatigue i may be feeling, i go for a hiit which is mainly squats. 160 squats with rests per 40 and it stops it in its tracks. I dont know what exactly happens coz I cant find anyone that says anything like that about it but it works. Cutting through the fatigue and actually doing it is the problem coz it is difficult but once you start the rest is history.
You have nice answers to every subject and problem
WONDERFUL video Dr. Berg! 👍🏽
You have a great team. This video is top notch.
When a real Doctor explains, it's really easy to assimilate.
Thank you. I need exercise perspective, right now.
It’s good for lowering your resting heart-rate .
Sprinting is my favorite. Zoom, zoom, zoom!
And the risk of injury is reduced as well. The American military have known the benefits of HIT for some time. They concluded the best exercise for fitness? Weighted hikes where intense periods of exertion are followed by periods of rest. Gives credence to the old saying in the French Foreign Legion, "march or die."
Hello, first that I appreciate every single study/information Dr.Berg shares with us; secondly, does walking counts as rest for the parasympathetic nervous system? Or I actually need to sit down, breath and "relax"?
Hi there! Check out this Dr. Berg's video: ua-cam.com/video/8dtPN4xrY4U/v-deo.html
Hope this helps answer your question!

Imagine Dr Berg being your dad. How cool would that be? :D Thanks Doc as always
How to build muscle on a keto lifestyle? I practice yoga everyday and do some HIIT training too.
Muscle growth demands resistance training of some sort, no matter the diet type a person may be on.
There are many types of resistance training, you can choose one that suits you.
@@KenanTurkiye thanks for your insight, however I have insulin resistance so was apprehensive if certain exercises induce more cortisol than others..
@@seriouslyawesomegirls8638 Ohh ok, my apoligies for not truelly comprehending your initial post.
I too have insulin resistance and am on keto and fasting.
And do resistance training (with weights) for muscle building. And Hiit training for cardiovascular health.
However, I have trimmed down my daily exercises enough to prevent the excessive cortisol, as I would train to ''death'', now not so much.
Regarding cortisol, its not the type of exercise rather the exertion you put out. I think one needs to find a sweet spot in their training, you need both the muscle fatigue and you need to not push to hard to be swimming in cortisol.
Best wishes.
@@KenanTurkiye thank you very much for taking the time to put in so much information. I used to over exercise too but I don't anymore. In fact I had to take a 3year sabbatical from work outs as my body is exhausted. So how many times a week should I do a HIIT workout?
@@seriouslyawesomegirls8638 I'm pleased if I'm of the slightest help.
Regarding your question about Hiit weekly frequency, I would first like to remind that Hiit is a ''tool'' for better cardiovascular, hormonal and circulation health.
If one doesn't need them or if doing Hiit detriments in some way other parts of current status of health I would prioritize the issues that needs resolving first.
But generally speaking both Hiit and resistance training (for muscle building) has been known to benefit people from even once a weekly frequency.
Everyones different with differenct conditions and needs so theres no ''ideal'' set frequency as theres too many variables. Best is to check with ones doctor and see what they can accomodate in their current health status and life commitments.
You need high protein to take advantage of the growth hormone to increase muscle mass. You also need gycogen to perform properly for HIIT, but apparently you don’t advise people to eat a lot of protein and carbohydrates, thats why you only do 12 ball slams and your tired
Everyones health aims and ambitions are different. Dr. Berg at his age and wants is doing the right thing.
But for someone wanting to build extra amounts of muscles and be identified as someone ''lifting'' they can play around with the amount of protein intakes and change their 12 ball slams to other exercises.
Its not just to compare apples to pears. Growth hormone is not merely used by our bodies to build muscles. Have you observed many enchanced (read growth hormone using) bodybuilders, did you notice how many of them have protrusions of bone on both sides of their skull? Growth hormone is not merely beneficial for muscle mass.
You dont need externally supplemented glycogen to perform Hiit.
I dont want to bore you at the moment with how I (like many) train on keto and fasted.
But I will provide some study summaries below which may add to your perspective, enjoy::::
''con study'': I could not source the proper date for this study as its a clipping from ''healthline'' article, and commentary:
''Researchers from Saint Louis University tested the anaerobic exercise performance of 16 men and women following either a low-carbohydrate ketogenic diet or a high-carbohydrate diet for four days.
People on the ketogenic diet performed more poorly at anaerobic exercise tasks than those eating more carbs.
Depending on the task, their performance was 4 to 15 percent lower than the high-carbohydrate group.
The study was published.....in the Journal of Sports Medicine and Physical Fitness.
Study author Edward Weiss, PhD, associate professor of nutrition and dietetics at Saint Louis University, said that the results could make a big difference to athletes involved in sports that depend on short-burst anaerobic activities.
In light of these results, he advised athletes to AVOID these diets .......
While this is a SMALL study and people were on the two diets for only a FEW days......''
---> my commentary: a conclusion done on an eating regiment of only a few days, no standardisation of variables, no details of the participants? the participants stools !!! cant even change in that time let alone establish the metabolic necessities to be qualified as keto, this is PhD SCIENCE ???
Just as the duration of the diets is not applicable to establish fat adaptation in keto status, I wouldn't be surprised if the participants in ''low carb'' as the article claims are actually well beyond keto carb levels, now allowing any such a transition, and probably still intaken-carb relient metabolic wise. As they found 4 !!!! percent discrepencies between low carb vs high carb. 4 percent !!!, on such a study, and like studies are passed around from article to article to fitness influencers and ''experts''. :end of my commentary. 70% VO2max, increases in fat oxidation were associated with decreased economy (increased oxygen consumption), and in some cases, increased ratings of perceived exertion and heart rate.
Two investigations in recreationally active endurance athletes noted no vigorous intensity exercise decrement following 3- and 12-week adaptations. Moderate (70-85% one repetition maximum) and near-maximal to maximal intensity (>85% 1RM) strength performance experienced no decrement following a 3-12-week KD adaptation.
Beneficial effects were noted for 2000 m sprint and critical power test completed for short duration at vigorous intensity, while two additional tests noted no decrement. For sprint, near-maximal exercise (>91% VO2max), benefit of the KD was observed for six-second sprint, while no decrement in performance was noted for two additional maximal tests. When protein is equated (grams per kilogram), one investigation noted no decrement in muscle hypertrophy, while one noted a decrement.
One investigation with matched protein noted the KD group lost more body fat. In conclusion, moderate-to-vigorous intensity exercise experiences no decrement following adaptation to a KD. Decreases in exercise economy are observed >70% VO2max in trained endurance athletes which may negate performance within field settings.
Beneficial effects of the KD during short duration vigorous, and sprint bouts of exercises are often confounded by greater weight loss in the KD group. With more athletes pursuing carbohydrate-restricted diets (moderate and strict (KD)) for their proposed health benefits, more work is needed in the area to address both performance and health outcomes.''
and HIIT for the legs even grows the arms. The old knees and hips get strong fast with HIIT.
As with most things, I think the broader expanse of human history might be the best model to help us decide which exercise modality is most appropriate. So, from a historical perspective, I think we should do a combination of HIIT and low intensity long sessions. If you think about it, for most of our history, our bodies were accustomed to doing a bit of both to help us survive. Given that hunting - an activity that we have done longer than any other activity - required long walks, punctuated by sprints, it stands to reason that our exercise routines should mimic this variety.
Is doing just jumping jacks like 400 in 8 minutes considered HIIT or Cardio?
Thank you Dr very helpful
Dr berg looks like Tom cruise's long lost brother.
Thank you for sharing Dr. Berge. You are a blessing to me and i appreciates all ,your time and continuous dedication towards helping me so i will always try and make better choices 😊 . I THANK YOU 😊 🙏
Thanks Dr Berg. And it’s good news for me🤓
Can weight training be incorporated into hiit?
Hey Dr Berg! Thanks for the content! I just wanted to ask, I have an under the desk treadmill. Is it alright if I walk on it for the majority of the day?
This is very timely for me as I am going through cardio rehab at this time. When I questioned the people running the program about this they said it is not good for your heart to stress it too much too early. But I said how do I improve my cardiac condition without pushing it into the higher rate for some interval?
Might wait to do HIIT til you are finished with rehab. I assume you had some type of heart surgery? There are all kinds of free workouts here on YT you can do at home with little to no equipment. Check some of that out after you are released from rehab.
@@dianasimplifies Been two months since six stents total in three arteries... six weeks of rehab low intensity tread mill type exercise just about finished with it. Want/need to do more so I guess I will have to do it on my own.
@@TalkingGIJoe yes I'm sure you will! Not to knock the med establishment or anything but I feel like most have no clue what they are doing. They do whatever CDC, AMA etc say and they don't think outside the box any. If you find a Dr or PT that does think outside the box you are BLESSED!!!
Very informative thank you!!
Most welcome!
Hi Dr. Eric, is it possible to have a high cholesterol level with normal blood pressure? and some studies saying that the Keto diet triggers high cholesterol?
Dr berg? Can you please tell me in which category the exercise of jumping a rope falls in? Thank you.
I have CAH and very low cortisol that raises 17OH progesteron, so would this be bad for me?
I did that 1min Pulse Test.
Resting : 62-64
After 1min High Knees Sprint : 130
After 1min Rest : 90
After 30 min : ~85
why it is still this high after this rest
Plz make video on effects of sun salutation on body
