    It must be good, not one single negative reply! It sounds like it makes sense! I'll give it a try. I was just thinking this morning that I have not lost as much fat around my midsection as I thought I should be. I will try this a few days per week. Thank you for the post!!!

    I wish I could run, but I have really bad feet and my podiatrist has banned it. I'm therefore doing HIIT on a stationary bike. I've been doing 15/20 mins of HIIT followed by 30 mins (approx.) of steady state, but am interested in the 45-min pattern the OP suggests. I'm assuming it will all apply just as much to a bike ...

    Of course! What matters is intensity levels and heart rate, not what actual type of exercise you're doing.


    Try a spin bike its easy on the feet and knees and its really efficient boosting up your Heart Rate.

    I think it would only make a difference to do it in the morning if you didn't eat first. Then, you may get dizzy and feel funny. Make sure you're fully fueled.

    I like to run in the evenings too, and find morning runs difficult for this very reason - I don't have time to wait around for the food to settle before I run in the mornings.

    What's the best way to monitor/keep track of the timing for this?

    What's the best way to monitor/keep track of the timing for this?

    Timex has a cheap watch that allows setting up intervals, it'll beep when time to change to the other thing.

    Sadly, the cheap only have 1 set of intervals. During the jog part you'd have to mess with the timings for the 1:1 coming up, but not too bad.

    Or, if you really want to get into stats and such for even much more than this, Garmin GPS HRM systems have whole workouts you can put in, with goals during that part of the routine.

    I tweaked my current one closer to this routine, with desired HR levels to not go over during recovery, or min to get above, ect.
