HIIT & Smarter Nutrition
High-intensity intervals and how to read modern nutrition guidelines
Two things I get asked about constantly: interval training, and whatever the current version of the food pyramid is.
This guide covers both. The interval structure is one I already build into many of my sessions, and the nutrition half translates the official guidance into something you can put on a plate.
What's inside
- What HIIT is, with a work-to-rest structure you can use tomorrow
- Why intervals preserve lean muscle better than long steady cardio
- How to scale intensity to your fitness level, because more is not always better
- A plate-based approach to nutrition guidelines, in plain language
