Reply to comment by bloomingfx in [Image] Consistency Vs. Intensity by sylsau

HIIT has been shown to be worse for overweight/obese… more risk of injury and burn out. Low intensity is better for them.

thank you for this. I'm obese and I've been telling myself that "nope, don't go to the intermediate workout plan right away. you know that you'll get burnout on exercise if you do that. give yourself some time and complete the beginner plan. 5-10 mins > nothing. don't be so hard on yourself."

Any sources for that? Seems like group training, developing a community, creating friends in classes is fantastic for consistency

Okay i might be lost but what does HIIT got to do with any of those things? Surely doing intervals has nothing to do with building a community.
