i raise my intensity up to 12-12.7. is that not high enough?
if i do higher, i might fly off the treadmill and die....
i do the intense bit for about 1 mins and then rest for 2 mins. after 25 mins of that, i still have enough energy to do a fast walk with an incline of about 8%, for 25 mins, after that i go and do some crunches and go to the starirstepper (that is what it is called i believe). for 15 mins. will this not get me fast results. i want to loose weight!
I do HIIT 3 times a week on a treadmill for 20 mins each time. I go from 5 for 1 minute to 12 for 30 seconds. After 20 minutes of this, I'm not completely out, a 10 minute rest and I'm on the weights. The secret has to be your ability to recuperate. I can recuperate fairly quickly from HIIT. All I need is a 10-15 minute rest and I'm ready to go again.
hi keith i play sunday league soccer in ireland a few weeks ago we got drawing in the cup against a full-time pro team they were so fit and full of sprinting that i could barely caught my breath i want to be as fit as them so i started hiit on my ex bike how long before i feel super fit, if i train 3 times a week i'm doing 15 seconds flat out and 30 seconds rest 6 or 7 times
Hi Keith, my treadmill only goes to ten mph at which I can go longer than one minute per interval(I usually do four of them) but I could probably sprint fatser so my question is: should I use longer intervals or maybe use incline?
Hi there, I am doing HIIT but need to know if we do HIIT everyday? I heard the benefit from EPOC lasts 38 hours (this study said at a MINIMUM, as opposed to some other studies that said it CAN last up to 24) SO do I need to do HIIT everyday to benefit from the raised metabolism? it is the ONLY exercize i am currently doing and I have no plans to add anything more for a few months.
I did HIIT on the bike the other day and my VMO was burning (muscle right above the knee)... I don't get that kind of rubber-leg feel when I do HIIT from squatting with a medicine ball and throwing it into the air... which one should I stick to?
I'm doing HIIT and I feel like I have a lot of endurance. My elliptical has 10 levels. I do the "jog" on 6 and the intense "sprint" at level 10, but lately, I don't feel as beat up. I don't think I can move my legs faster and do feel my heart racing. Do you have any tips for better result? I'm doing 2min Jog: 1min Sprint. Should I go to 1min Jog: 30sec Sprint?
A few things. First, the elliptical is a momentum based machine, meaning that much of the motion is provided because of the machine and not just from you. After doing it for some time you will get use to it faster and not feel as much. I would move machines and try the bike for a while.
The other aspect is for you to try shorter intervals. I always prescribe doing 15 seconds as hard and fast as you can, with only a 30 second rest. You will get less rest, and feel it more as you go.
3-4 sessions doesn't seem enough. I would go for at least 30 minutes doing 1 minute at a flat rate and 30 seconds going full blast.
