I have been weight training on and off for the last 35 years and this last 15 years has all been HIT to failure, 6 days a fortnight and take 14 days before I train the same body part again. I'm 60 years old now and can truly say this has been the best way to train for me as it gives me plenty of time to recover. When I was younger I could recover a lot quicker but not now. It saves me time in the gym and I continue to make improvements if I can be consistent enough without too many breaks. For the aerobic side of things I just go for a bicycle ride for an hour every other day in the highest gear I can maintain . Marvelous how hard a slight incline can be in a high gear! Thanks Dr Berg for confirming that what I've been doing has been in the right direction! Keep up the great work!
45 years old. Upper body & lower body twice a week each. Week 1 light, high reps. Week 2 heavy low reps. Cardio on my off days.
Wonderful information Dr Berg. I am 62 years old. 2 years ago I started doing HIIT sprinting, the first 2 or 3 sessions were brutal, I could hardly walk for nearly a week after it LOL, but the fat burn/weight loss was beyond belief. After only doing 2 sessions in 2 weeks I lost my small pot belly and was on the verge of a six pack, no lies. So true what you say that the metabolism was still burning fat days after the relatively short training. i.e. 6 short sprints, or running up a steep hill 4 times, the last one was mega intense and way less stressful on my joints etc. Thank you.
This used to be taught in HighSchool, in a class called Phys Ed.
I feel it worth noting if your doing HIIT training properly to failure an exercise partner or a spotter is HIGHLY recommended. No one wants to fail doing bench press with 225lbs or more. I have been a fan of Mike Mentzer since I starting training.....he was ahead of his time. RIP Mr. Mentzer 💪
At 70 yeas old I swam laps for an hour today. Tomorrow I will lift weights. For me, lose weight at the dinner table, gain muscles at the gym. I eat Keto/Carnivore.
He mentioned Mike Mentzer. this guy is awesome!
You’re 57!? Ppl are looking younger as they get older staying healthy 💪. Great info
Absolutely love that Dr. Berg went with Mentzer as the example for high intensity and spoke of proper recovery from that type of workout.
