Bitesize Biohack: Fuelling High Intensity Interval Training With Dr Stacy Sims

Key Takeaways

Before training, women require protein to make sure that their resting metabolic rate recovers after exercise
The carb is primarily amino acid based
SIT is going as hard as you can for 20-30 seconds with 90-100 seconds recovery, with HIT the intervals are slightly longer
It’s about recovery from a cardiovascular and neuro-muscular standpoint so you can go again
In the luteal phase, you should usually avoid high-intensity training due to the stress it puts on the body

Best Moments

‘If you are going to do cardio you require protein with a little bit of carb in it’

‘It’s about short, sharp and very efficient ’

‘Getting out and doing a couple of short sharp 20-second intervals is magic’
