Episode 036: High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) with Dr Michelle Swainson

Episode Notes

What is the evidence for high intensity interval training (HIIT)? Is it worth doing and is it safe? I used to be a bit of a sceptic about HIIT but strong evidence is emerging and I talk through the topic with sports and exercise scientist Dr Michelle Swainson. It's a good lesson for me in recognising when bias is creeping in rather than basing my views on the evidence. The evidence is compelling in many groups now and it turns out I've been doing HIIT all along! We also talk through measuring obesity, the limitations of BMI and the best method to use.
