    Starmaster/mill HIIT:

    1 mintue of level 6
    30 seconds of level 10

    I usually do this for anywhere between 15-20mins. It kills me every time

    I do some HIIT Rowing. All out for 1 minute, rest 1 minute. I do this for 10 minutes, then cool down for 3.

    I see some people in the gym doing this...looks like an awesome burn!

    I haven't done a bunch of HIIT, but I do the elliptical a few times a week. Put on a interval workout, any level. When the resistance interval starts, go all out as fast as you can for as long as you can. I usually try 2 min. Follow up with recovery till the next resistance interval. With my HRM, I am getting into almost the 90% HR going, on recovery it usually stays in the 60% HR.

    No favorite. I hate 'em all. I just like the results.
    Right there with you, man. I keep promising myself I'll get back to Tabatas on the elliptical as soon as I get through C25K treadmill (just to prove I can get through it), but at this rate, it may never come! Maybe I should just do it now.

    I'm a lover of hiit and usually enjoy the tabata style workouts.

    I usually stick to videos one fitnessblender.com
