HOW TO HIIT MIDDLE AGE

Middle-aged women trying to reduce body mass may be best focusing on HIIT training (high-intensity interval training) rather than lower-intensity continuous training. A study2 of 45 previously inactive women found that 12 weeks of HIIT and continuous training produced similar results in terms of improving cardiovascular fitness and resting heart rate, but only HIIT training reduced total body mass. However, only continuous training was effective in improving mental wellbeing.
