Thread: HIIT on an elliptical

Find a little strip outside and run sprint's. 5-10 60 yard blast's and it will be more fun. You can't go all out on a elliptical. But if that's all you got then it's better than nothing. But I prefer the Elliptical for LISS not HIT.

You can go out on an elliptical.

i only did elliptical because it was my first time trying it out, plus i figured on a tread mill itd be slow to speed up and slow down

is 10 minutes of 30/30 good enough or should i do 15 minute 30/30 split

I have actually started doing this myself....I use the elliptical 4 times a week after lifting. Two of the sessions I will go for 30 minutes at a moderate pace, heart rate around 140 or so and then the other 2 sessions I will go at a higher pace for 15 minutes straight with heart rate around 170-175....I enjoy it.

I started waking up in the morning and doing cardio.
Big fan of the Bike machines, they have different difficulty levels and I do the "strength" setting and change the difficulty as I go. Man it kicks my ass.

I tried it, but nothing really beats sprints.
