HIIT Question

[aerobicgirl]

I am wondering if anyone has ever read this article. http://www.musclemedia.com/training/hiit.asp

I just read the whole thing and it makes sense to me. I have been a distance runner for years but since I turned 35 I have gained 8 pounds that won't go away! My husband loves this as "it's more to hold onto" but I want my old lean boy back.

I have a good diet and I weight train 3 times a week with some yoga thrown in.

I need a jumpstart.

Any thoughts?

" I want my old lean boy back."

Umm, yeah, that should be "body" not "boy!"

Yep, some sort of HIIT work is definitely the way to go. If all you needed was reasurance, then you have it. Now go do it!

I have done HIIT before and am doing it again, I like it. The best part is well its short

I have had pretty good results from it. It has been around for it bit you can read tons of articules on it everywhere. I use eliptical in the winter and sprints in the summer.

I usually go 10 to 12 minutes with 2 minute warm up and 2 min cool down when I first start I do the 30 on 30 off routine. But as I progress I do 20 on 10 off for 8+ intervals. If your use to running I would suggest doing the 20, 10 routine. just try it and see.....
