   Thanks for that tip…many who are desperate to lose weight might train everyday and neglect the RECOVERY. Excellent video

    when you do burst training you said that you should rest to next day…I was wondering do you exercise at all the next day?

    i remember u saying that after high intensity training u use fat for energy afterwards, i was thinking of not eating any carbs the next day so gluconeogenesis takes place, or is there no need for it, and can youmplease explain why you use fat afterwards, thanks:)

    should you eat less on your off days, and how much should you restrict your calories?

    Thank you Dr. Pompa appreciate your response. Now I know why I gained weight during baseball season in college running long distance for pitching and I was not cut like in basketball in high school all sprints. Can you hypothesis you lose more weight when your burst before bed due to sythnesis and storage of fat at night?

    You get it!! Great thinking…Absolutely it works really well for this…one of my other videos speaks of burst sets.

    Dr.Pompa- You talk about burst training in different forms.running,eliptical. However what if you like to lift? Is it same concept per muscle group. So Superset Chest for 30-60 secs rest.ect 3-4 set. then with other muscle groups? Does this concept apply to that also.

    Research simplifies this to 3 to 4 burst around 60 seconds is best….but Im sure this works if your heart rate hits the 90% of max in 20 seconds. This may difficult for most who want to do lighter weights to burst or run that fast!

    if your body releases growth hormones the day after, does it mean you should do strength training the next day or on the same day? or not at all?

    Hi there ! I have been researching this and it seems similar yet different from Tabata training which is 20 seconds off, 10 seconds off. times 8

    I wanted to know if and why this way is better. thanks!

    I got almost all answer here thk u…
    But I would like to get few more answers. My primary wish is to lose weight. Expecialy fat from my abdomen, I don’t have a big, but it’s still there,nothing else. I don’t need a big muscles on my body.
    Is it enough to do every second day the burst training and what I mustn’t eat? And may I do some other practice for abdomen and what?
    sorry cause my english is bad, Iam from Serbia, big hello to U Dr. Pompa…

    Myself, I like going between intervals of walking/running/jogging with an occasional sprint, But this is pretty damn good.

    I cant do much HIIT as I have asthma, which sucks for cutting as I enjoy sprints.
