Ive been doing High Intensity Interval training recently the protocol as follows.... 2 min warm up/jog followed by a 15 sec all out sprint then 45 walk/slow jog...repeat this until i have reached 10-12 sprints then cool down for a couple minutes with a slow walk. This has really been working for me but i was wondering what everyone else does for their HIIT or high intensity cardio sessions?
Many, many, many ways to do it, Mo.
Try some fun "patterns" for variety. Example:
Ride a bike for 5 minutes, stretch.
Jog at 5 mph for 5 min.
Walk 1 min.
Jog at 6 mph for 4 min.
Walk 1 min.
Jog at 7 mph for 3 min.
Walk 1 min.
Jog 8 mph for 2 min.
Walk 1 min.
Run 9 mph for 1 min.
Walk 1 min.
Run 10 mph for 1 min.
Walk 1 min.
Run 11 mph for 45 sec.
Walk for 1.5 min.
Run 12 mph for 30 sec.
Walk for 2 min.
repeat another time or two.....
Nothing magical there; just ways to improve week to week and have fun - work on progressing safely.
