    How do you record HIIT exercises? I do it with a treadmill and did 20 minutes this morning. After my 2 minute warmup, I did 3.0 but every two minutes I changed the incline from 1.0 to 3.0 and the last one at 4.0. I am new at this and out of shape. According to researching it suggested to start out slowing and then progress. I appreciate your help.

    I don't agaree with this exercise option. There are so many different speeds and inclines one can use on a treadmill, and likewise stairsteppers can be used from very slow to extremely high intensity. I use my home stairmaster stairstepper for high intensity interval training, gradually working up the resistence level.

    Best is to estimate your own workout based on exertion (it may vay from day to day) and figure calories accordingly not forgetting to use your own weight as a guideline.

    Note this quote from Google:

    "Because the stair master works you harder, your body has to, in essence, play catch up to return itself back to normal meaning you burn more calories. You wont find a piece of cardio equipment that works you harder than the stair master. The stair master will give you a pretty intense HIIT workout."

    Good grief. There's so much misinformation in this zombie thread it makes my head spin (including the post that woke the zombie). It would be best to ignore all of it...

    YesYesYes. This is a terrible, awful, unscientific, inaccurate thread (mostly) and everyone should ignore everything in it.

    That's one of the things I hate about zombie threads: So many of them, especially the really old ones, are terrible. (This one is, for sure, in sooooo many ways).

    My gyms machines tell me how many calories I burn. I create an exercise and enter it manually. Example yesterday I did the treadmill 30 mins from 30-37 pace burned 151 calories.
