Treadmill High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) for Fat Loss

    This is probably going to sound stupid but here goes. How worried should someone be that they have to hold onto the handrails despite every single article ever written on treadmill hiit saying not to? I.e. someone who’s blind. I can practically recite all the reasons why this is bad, but this is posted everywhere so I won’t do that. Since falling off the back end at high speeds sounds like a recipe for steady state, high intensity pain, how would one get the whole good out of what’s widely regarded as a half-assed workout? Reading things like “doing it half-assed is like not doing it at all.” makes me wonder a) if I should have bought something other than a treadmill and b) why I never even considered any of this before. Sorry if this sounds dumb, this just really bugs me.

    Hey Derek, if you’re blind then it’s going to be extenuating circumstances to say the least. Obviously I wouldn’t recommend ever holding the handrails unless maybe you’re blind or have a phobia. And that saying “doing it half-assed is like not doing it at all” shouldn’t be applied here. Sometimes doing something is a heck of a lot better than nothing.
