One of my favorite blogs is written by Coach Calorie (such a sensible eZine) Here is the link to an article about HIIT and why it's so effective for gaining strength and cutting fat. Also mentioned are a few simple HIIT workouts.
Somuadina I responded to the guide Invest in an interval timer
I have an app that I downloaded on my phone (Android) as well. It is really good because you can customize it to how you want. I also like that if you are listening to music it will beep/blow a whistle to know when to switch up.

Ross S answered the question Insanity Workout

Daniel H LOVE the HIIT!! I like to keep it unstructured on a stationary bike. I vary my times all the time i.e. 1 min high intensity, 1 min low intensity, then 3 mins high intensity, 1 1/2 minute low intensity etc low intensity I set it around levels 7-11, high intensity 12-17. Have had great fitness gains and weight loss benefits while keeping lean muscle mass.
you will become Spartan!

Maxine D replied to the topic distance or time
I train by time. I think training by distance is good if your goal is to just finish. :) I don't want to keep track of distance or laps....if I know I can do the distance improving my time is the only way to improve :)

Yea, for general running I...

Tiffany S replied to the topic What device best for interval training in track?
Kamran how often you check you time during interval training? For me I check every 200m or 400m
Tiffany S replied to the topic What device best for interval training in track?
