[QUOTE="AloeSvea, post: 1637584, member: 150927"] [FONT=Arial][SIZE=4]All good points of course Pipp! :). Absolutely right and I see what you mean about rushing into HIIT. Not a good idea indeed for those previously sedentary etc folk. I just meant that for some folk, re the warrior bit, muscle use and build up is relatively easy. Hey! With my body type I suffer hugely, and I mean suffer, and HUGELY, lol, doing both intermittent fasting, and fasting, and VLCDs aka the ND. I suffer so much I even had a very nice regular poster in here tell me maybe I shouldn't IF for health purposes as I clearly suffer so much. So I am one of many of us folks with a certain hormonal balance or level, in my case, and in ickihun's case perhaps, those women who get PCOS have more testosterone, and are often athletic body types, so therefore eat heartily perhaps and exercise comes easily. Warrior women! :) (As semi-starving and intermittently going hungry is easy for some, like I think it is for you Pipp? If my memory serves me correctly. Not so for me with my amounts of ghrelin - the hunger hormone I think, which I think is what it boils down to? In individual differences - it's all about hormones in metabolism isn't it?) I don't love cycling - it is not "my thing"! I cycle to get my 'exercise' dose in the 'diet and exercise' bit, and to get from point A to point B and back again :).

Very short bursts of running, HIIT wise is actually something I enjoyed, but as a post menopausal woman whose had a couple of kids back in the day I don't think it wise to put pressure like that on my poor old beleaguered bladder.
