    When I started HIIT, I couldn't do more than about 20 sec of all out and then need at least 60 sec of rest. Gotten to the point where I do 30 sec all out and 30 sec rest, but even then, I can't do more than about 12 - 15 cycles on my best day. No way can I get anywhere near 60 sec all out. I do this on a spin cycle, BTW -- rest is no tension, intensity is crank up the tension and go all out as fast as I can.

    Turning the resistance all the way up and going all out sounds intense. Thanks for sharing!

    Nah - just turning the resistance up a few full turns - I'd never make it trying to crank the tension on full.
