Question To do HIIT must I stop doing weights?

Hi again,

I've been reading about HIIT and sounds very interesting. My workout is detailed below and as you'll see I dont' really do cardio as I hate it with passion. I haven't been working on a steady basis for long, keep falling off the wagon, but I"m still trying. I was considering if doing HIIT would be beneficial to me.

If I were to do it how can I incorporate it into my routine? I read one of the links that was posted on the "What's HIIT"? thread so I know the basics of it but I'm wondering if I can do it let's say after my weights or I should only do it on days I don't do weights. As you see I already do pretty much 5 days of pure weights. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

day1: glutes/legs
day2: back/abs
day3: chest/shoulders
day4: arms/abs
day5: Glutes (only)

Try doing your HIIT on alternate days of lifting.
HIIT is not recomended after lifting.
If you want to keep the fat burning going after lifting try some moderate cardio for 20-30 minutes then get some quick protein in ya.

I do HIIT Monday, Wednesday and Friday. I do Chest and tricept lifting on Tuesday. Legs, Abs, lower back, forearms, shoulders on Thursday. And back and bicepts on Saturday. I would not think HIIT and weights on the same day would be a good idea. My HIIT workouts totally fatigue me. So much so that I am not sure I am going to finish this routine.

sounds like you are on the right track.

Gradually increase your HIIT.

If you start to feel fatigued all the time lighten up on all of your exercise.
Fatigue can be a real pain in the butt.
