I'm doing a lower body HIIT workout twice a week. What's recommended is you give yourself 2 or 3 days of rest in between the 2 workouts. Instead of exercising Monday and Thursday, can I do Monday and Wednesday or Tuesday and Thursday? This is the workout I'm doing: https://youtu.be/8-PjpUH8TcE
Not if it's HIIT. Really you should only do HIIT once a week and you should be pretty wrecked the next couple days. If you're not, it's more of a MIIT than a HIIT.
HIIT became popular because of the stagnation of doing MIIT 3-7x a week. Middling effort exercise done 3x a week eventually stagnates.
The downside of HIIT is the recovery period. Yes, you can do a second HIIT training session when you're not recovered from the previous one but the quality of the second workout is going to be dramatically worse. Alternatively if it's more of a MIIT you can do those 5 days a week... but you're not really getting the benefits of a HIIT workout. If the workout is much too easy for what is a "HIIT" workout for someone else may be a MIIT and you can go ahead and do that daily.

When doing running intervals HIIT is the equivalent of sprinting.
Most people who say they do HIIT are basically doing low intensity training with intervals.
A beginner is rarely in shape to begin a HIT workout
Try it and find out - people have different tolerances to volume. Olympic Athletes, College athletes certainly get away with that. The question is do you.... play with it and see how you feel.
I guess it depends on the person..................30-minutes of HIIT once a week would wear me
out badly, twice a week, HA.
