AMAZING HIIT Cardio workout!
So today I tried a HIIT cardio workout that my trainer uses. You can do it on any cardio machine or outside. I used the treadmill to do sprints. Here is the workout. The first number is the sprint and the second number is recovery time. All of it is in seconds.
5 minute warm up- I jogged
5 sets of 60s/30s
4 sets of 45s/30s
3 sets of 30s/15s
5 sets of 15s/30s
90 second sprint
Cool Down
It was AMAZING. I worked so hard and was sweating so much! Oh my goodness!! I then did a 20 minute easy workout on the elliptical t just kinda cool down and keep my muscles moving. Awesome, Awesome workout! Just thought I would share!

Re: AMAZING HIIT Cardio workout!
Thanks! I am going to try this tomorrow. I have been trying to do intervals twice a week and find that they really make the difference. I am literally drenched after 20 minutes of intervals

Re: AMAZING HIIT Cardio workout!
This is similar to something a trainer told me to do years and years ago...
I used to do this on the elliptical:
5 min - Warm up (not too fast or slow)
2 min - As fast as you can go
1 min - very slow
2 min - As fast as you can go
1 min - very slow
2 min - As fast as you can go
1 min - very slow
3 min - Cool down (not too fast or slow)
Total: 17 min.
It was a nice hard/fast workout. It does something with your metabolism.

Re: AMAZING HIIT Cardio workout!
I did this tonight at the track and it was hard! My sprints are pathetic and I held a (sweaty) piece of paper in my hand with the instructions as I ran.
