[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cut alcohol and carbs.  The usual healthy eating.

I started HIIT at home every 3 days (ie mon, Thursday Sunday) where my body had a full 48 hours to recover.

[b]Started with 30 seconds and 15 of rest between exercises and worked up to 45 and 15 seconds of rest.[/b]
Continued weight training 5 days weeks.

Added creatine daily to help with building muscle and recovery times.

Lost about 25lb in fat in under 5 months- but weight came up at little with the muscle increase but i look sooo much better and clothes are loose on me.[/quote]

How long were these HIIT workouts?
What level of difficulty were they? 
Not OP, but I'm 57 y/o female and need to start at a very beginner level (and work around wrist and shoulder issues).[/quote]

5 exercises for 5 repetitions to start.

Increased time by 5 second intervals as I was ready.

Went to 6 exercises for 5 repetitions up to the 45.

Now I am stil at same program but added some weights for a few (6 and 10lb medicine ball on abs).

When I started I could not do 10 seconds of Russian twists; now I can do 45 seconds with a 10lb medicine ball.

I added creating after about 2 months in and it has helped a lot with recovery.  I do not eat red meat that often and did not have the proteins for muscle building at my age.  [/quote]
