Just looking for some advice on the next stage in my fitness regimen.
I have gone as far as I can with weight loss and walking and am now looking for the next stage in my fitness program.
I have read that HIIT can be exceptionally effective for glucose metabolism but don't know where to start with regards to what kind of excercises to do and what duration I should be aiming for.
I've currently been walking around 25-30 miles a week at pace and have seen noticeable improvement in my level of stamina and now feel I need to go to the next level as I feel I've gained as much as I can from walking.
I'm now at 10.5 stone, BMI 20.8 and 15% body fat and don't want to lose any more weight so am trying to eat more and have managed to hold my weight steady for 3 weeks.
I'd really like to now work on glucose metabolism directly through HIIT and am looking for advice on what I need to be doing to take it to the next level.
I know there must be people here who have used HIIT as I've seen it mentioned a few times.
Any advice on exercises would be greatly appreciated, but please bare in mind I'm 52 and whilst I'm fitter than I've been in many years now, I'm not looking to run marathons as I just don't have that kind of stamina or time.
I'm also very self conscious so don't want to be joining gyms either.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
