Does anyone do cardio acceleration? Are you seeing better results than HIIT?

    Do you know what cardio acceleration is because I know 100% you could not do it to my intensity. MINIMUM EFFORT. Why workout for two hours when you can workout for a hour at higher intensity which raises metabolism more?

    I have done this style of exercise before. It's really hard, so you have to make sure you're "up" for it. There's no dogging it through one of these.

    I got good results. I can't for certain say better than other programs, but if you're interested, give it a try. You might like it!! :)

    I do both cardio acceleration and HIIT in a weeks schedule. What I do not do is slow steady boring cardio.

    Cardio acceleration is HIIT with a free weight circuit tossed in-between the rounds if I understand it correctly. I'm not one for a 15 minute workout, im not even warmed up in 15 minutes.

    The better fitness level you have the more quicker your body can warm up to doing high intensity activities.

    You must have some unusual talent if you know 100% I could not do it.

    This sounds like my bootcamp that I do 3 times a week. High intensity circuits 3 minutes in duration with compound lifts or abs alternating for 45 minutes nonstop. Is that cardio acceleration?

    I did not use the forums just so you know. Also as for seeing if you could workout at my intensity level. I do not know if you jump rope but if you do can you jump rope at 60 revolutions in 20 seconds?

    So you are doing 15 rounds of this high intensity circuit?

    So you are posting here without using the forums ? Interesting!

    And I have no interest in jump roping at 60 revolutions in 20 seconds...

    You are using the forums right now and yo judged her level of fitness from where: Oh, the forums! go you. You're so great.

    I can jump rope 60 revolutions in 20 seconds and I don't even use jump rope.

    There is nothing inherently wrong with this type of training. It represents more of a "general" approach to fitness--i.e. a form of circuit training--so it is not a "one size fits all" program.

    It is another example of how the fitness business works. This approach is based (loosely) on one or two studies that looked at including a 60 sec cardio interval between sets of strength exercise. I can't remember any specific effects of "raising metabolism", but it did show that strength gains were a little higher and recovery a little faster. Like many studies, this used beginning exercisers. It also used IIRC selectorized machines for the strength exercises.

    So you have limited research that suggests an approach that might have some benefits for some groups. Nothing wrong with that, right?

    Then someone takes the idea, slaps a pithy name on it, puts up a website and--voila!--it's touted a "revolutionary" new program, the will "melt fat" and "torch metabolism".

    Unfortunately, this happens almost every day in the fitness "business". Someone takes a nice little concept that could be a useful approach for some people (I've used this routine myself with certain clients, after I read the original research when it was first published over a year ago), and turns it into something sleazy.

    Too bad.

    Boring is a very subjective term, a long run or a long bike ride are anything but boring........
    I did not use the forum to judge your fitness level.

    So then how did you judge her fitness level.....ESP?

    So sad that you have to stroke your own ego by turning fitness into a "mine is bigger than yours" type of conversation......

    I'm going to have to agree with this. Have you ever ridedn a mountain bike on the edge of a cliff? Gone 40+mph down a dirt hill, narrowly avoiding trees? Have you ever gone hiking into the middle of nowhere, climbed a 2 mi long hill, then taken in the view? Have you ever swam across a lake? Have you ever gone surfing or white water kayaking?

    All of those are relatively steady-state cardio, and none of them are anything near boring.

    I live in Maryland. The good bike trails are far or out of state in.

    If you wanna judge, at least look at the person's profile. But hey, you aren't sharing yours...

    no one judged you, I commented on what exactly cardio acceleration was and how it was not for me. You then judged my fitness level.
