@onetwothereefour Skipping isn't really the best for a beginner though, I would recommend this. Go on a treadmill or running outdoors, walk for 3 minutes as a warm up. Then SPRINT (not jog, SPRINT) as fast as you can for 30 seconds. Then walk for 30 seconds, Then sprint again. Do this combination 7 times in the first week, then in the next week, try 8. Hope this helps you.

@onetwothereefour You're not meant to do more than 15-20 minutes of HIIT per day. During this time, you need to put 110% of your effort. You need to push yourself to the max. You can do your 15 mins of HIIT and then do other training like weights etc, but don't exceed that amount. And also, make sure you always leave a day in between doing HIIT and don't do it more than 3 times a week. Hope that helps.

Hey guys,, can someone give me advice on HIIT. I know its high intensity, but is the time your exercising meant to be 100% effort? Obviously your having rest periods, but from the look of it hes not putting much effort into the 'jump rope', dunno whether thats just because its a video or whatever... would appreciate the help guys.

@robmpoirier How much time before excercising should one have food?

30 minutes?

[robmpoirier]

@Civ3Player Never do any cardiovascular exercise on an empty stomach. Instead, try eating carbohydrates (potatoes, pasta, rice, carb supplements) beforehand and maybe even a banana for the potassium.
