Hiit

[Life]

Anyone mind offering some suggestions on HIIT examples? I'm tired of cardio and I'm not getting much out of it anyway. I've thought about doing hang cleans for HIIT but would like some other input as well

burpiees and wind spints
(wind sprint = get in plank with flat side up on bosu and bring alternating legs to chest as fast as you can)

Wind sprints sound painful

Unless you're over 70 you'd have to man up and try it at least once, maybe twice.

Tabata method. 10 minutes and done!

 

[fraseram]

love tabata !!!!!
but pick four complex moves to hit it with for a total workout about 30 mins to get true results
you will not see anything by working out 10 mins no matter what you are doing
though ANYTHING is better than nothing and when in time crunch ........
ps Its SUPPOSED to hurt lol .... you asked about hit didd you not?!

Sprint 40 yards, walk back...Repeat


This was bread and butter during my football days, and I still love the punishment. I can do this for about 12-15 minutes before I feel like throwning up.

Otherwise, you can run at a fast pace for 30 seconds, then walk for 1:30...Repeat for about 15 minutes. It is not as painful, but still very effective.

Then it is best to do 20-30 minutes of low-mod intensity cardio to burn the released fat stores from your HIIT training.

10 minutes is enough for me.
