Hi,
Just wondering;
Is it alright if I do a HIIT training,let's say for 10minutes on a rest day,the day after I'm done with gym?
Does this in any way make it overtraining or anything?
Is it better to have a rest day completely rested with no form of exercises or is it fine to stick to doing HIIT on rest days?

what is HIIT?

wat is google?

high intensity interval training

I wanna know is it okay too , I did
4min warm up
30sec sprint > 30sec slow walk / rest (8reps)

Total 12mins

dont see any problem as long u have good rest/sleep + good diet(control/watch ya calories intake)

Doesn't count as a rest day because HIIT itself is intense enough to complete as a workout of the day even the one you performed was as short as 12minutes.

Do a tabata/warm-up as short as 4minutes for your rest day if you felt guilt or just want to "feel" a raise in your metabolism. Try not to go for a full HIIT on your rest day. Not saying its not ok, but it just doesn't serve the purpose of having a rest day if you do a HIIT on it.

seriously....
