[quote=Anonymous]I get it OP. I’m 40 and I love HIIT workouts but it’s getting harder to recover from them and I have a lot of lower back and hip problems that I am always having to manage. I can really only do HIIT twice a week at this point with a couple of rest or light exercise days in between or my back will go I to spasms which prevents me from moving much at all. I have a hard time embracing this reality as a former D1 athlete. I am very all or nothing where I feel like if I am going to work out it should be punishing because that’s what it used to take in order to be in competition shape. It’s like my competitive energy takes over when I’m in a workout class and I want to be the fastest/hardest working person there. I think most people hit a point where they have to start thinking about what is sustainable in the long run. If you’re lucky that is late in life. My back problems are more typical of a 60 something person so I guess that’s how I have to approach exercise now… sigh[/quote]
