    Since I can't figure out how to send PM's, Could you describe your HIIT routine a bit please?

    30sec sprint 1min rest or
    1min sprint 2 min rest
    just for example

    rest needs to be determined on your heart rate. it should drop down before your next sprint. so adjust your rest times accordingly.

    actually theres a ton of info if u google. lota good research and tips/routines out there for it.

    Thanks

    I recently just wanted to lose weight and I was guessing that in the time that I workout and lose weight that my BF would drop to an acceptable level outside of the high teens or low twenties. I currently run the fast pace sprint for a minute then walk for a few minutes (3 or 4) and then jog for about a miles time (8-10 minutes) and repeat. This usually gets me to around a half an hour and then I walk at 4.3 mph at incline 2 for around 10 minutes. No problems with me losing weight right now (I am down 14 pounds) but I just like to see what is out there and what is the best workout possible for optimum results. I tend to get a little crazy with things because the athlete and competition in me starts to come out. Thanks for the replies and yes please post the running routine that you use.
    Thanks

    Consistency is the best workout


    LIT 45-1hr every morn with LIT 30-40min after weights day in and day out


    you can alternate am LIT cardio with some jogging or HIIT to spice things up. HIIT needs to be done in moderation. 2-4 times a week. if done right, its taxing and needs adequate rest like any other anaerobic exercise.

    I'm no expert but 30-40 mins after weights seems long. I do 20-25??
