Why exercise too much can ruin your forms

HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) burns fat, reduces inflammation, and protects against heart disease and diabetes. But under certain conditions it can do harm.

HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) is another type of exercise or extreme effort you can use to hone your fitness.

Imagine yourself running away from a hungry lion - it sounds unrealistic, but your body during HIIT exercise experiences the same stress and your heart beats in the same rhythm.

Have you heard the expression "fight or flight" - this is how the reaction inherent in evolution works, it pushes you to safety in stressful situations. When you do high-intensity interval training or exercise , this reaction signals your brain, which has no idea if you are running a sprint on a treadmill or running from an angry rhino in the savannah. This tension releases stress hormones.

In a short period, these hormones burn fat and help build muscle . Muscles grow intensively during training and already more slowly, by inertia during the recovery period. HIIT can also reduce inflammation by protecting your body from heart disease and diabetes.

But there is a catch. As with wine or women, when there are too many of them, good can turn bad.

Too frequent HIIT combined with other types of exercise and stressful lifestyles can add to the negative effect.

In this stressful environment, your body releases chronically high levels of cortisol, a hormone that causes you to lose muscle while storing fat, reducing your defense against disease and injury.

Solution : Perfect exercise : Do only one HIIT session per week. This is good enough for most guys, especially if you already work with weights.

You can also reduce your stress levels in any way you want. This will make all of your workouts more effective.
