Beginner Hiit.
Im no expert but this has been working for me.
This is for treadmill walks alternating with jogging.
Warm up 5 minutes with walking on treadmill
Then 30 seconds of light jogging (increase speed gradually until u start to run, we are not aiming for maximum intensity because this is for a beginner)
Then reduce speed to walking again for 2-3 mins..( your heart rate and breathing will be harder and faster .. they will slowly return to normal. If u are still very breathless or heart is still racing u may need to rest for longer)
Then repeat - 30 seconds jog then 3 mins walk. And so on.
I started off with 30 minute sessions. Towards the end, u may need a 5 minute walk.
But as my fitness improved i saw my time intervals improving - meaning - i could sprint longer, recover faster and rest /walk period was shortened.
Any other suggestions? Comments are welcomes
