Just wondering how many people do/have done HIIT and what they thought of it, Personally I think it is great for my CV training.

If you dont know what HIIT is then: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-intensity_interval_training

    I do HIIT 4-6 days/week and 100% wholeheartedly believe in it. Had I lost this much weight just doing cardio OR lifting... I would have never achieved both the inch loss AND conditioning that I have. I am ALLLLLL about the intervals...

    I do Sparta HIIT... I really enjoy it. It is a lot of Toning with Cario mixed in. But it is a great working out.

    There are a lot of studies out there that have shown HIIT to be more effective for weightloss than steady state cardio.

    Yeah i watched a program on BBC 2 about fitness and they had proven in the lab that HIIT training takes less time and you still get results, rather than running/cycling constantly also it heps your metabolism even when resting!!!

    3 nights a week, 20 min HIIT sprints. I really like it. Besides running at a steady pace for a long time is boring.
