What is HIIT and how does it compare to other workouts?
I found it interesting that HIIT can sharpen your brain activity that helps decision making. I was wondering it it helped the brain more than other exercise methods.
I really enjoyed how you compared HIIT to other types of workouts and found it interesting that this type of exercise can help improve mental health. I also wonder if this helps with any specific mental illnesses and disorders.
I never knew that there was a specific type of exercise that is more impactful than others. I didn't expect it to help with glucose regulation. I also really enjoyed learning the scientific background of how HIIT benefits us.
Like my other commenters, I really liked how you included the science behind the benefits of HIIT and how it can improve mental health as well as physical health. I actually prefer HIIT exercises over other types of exercise because of that aspect, and since it is in smaller intervals with breaks between, it proves to be more manageable for someone who isn't exactly an athlete haha. Thinking about what I eat, especially during the summer where there is less structure and routine (at least personally), I don't think I eat enough to provide enough energy to complete HIIT exercises due to the fact that it is high intensity, but I don't seem to run into any problems when I strength train every week which I find kind of interesting.
I had heard of HIIT but didn't know much about it before watching your presentation. I found it very interesting how it compares to other workouts and that is has many benefits and that it can improve mental health.
HIIT is really great for people who cannot find the time to exercise. I for one cannot stand to be in the gym for more than an hour, so I might try HIIT. I always thought it was just running not strength training.
This was a really engaging presentation! I used to do HIIT workouts when I played softball and wasn’t a huge fan, but I can certainly see how it was helpful for my mental and physical health—especially based on the scientific background that you offered in your presentation. I think HIIT can be very beneficial as long as people are sure that they aren’t expending more energy than they’re taking in (which can be easy to do with high intensity workouts like this).
It is so interesting that some types of exercise have more impact than others, and that they make a difference in brain activity. It is so cool to learn and see the different types of workouts and their effects on your body!
I found this video very interesting, I didn’t know there was a more intense version of HIIT. I’m going to learn more about that in the upcoming weeks, for personal reasons
