Hello I just joined the group and wanted to introduce myself. I've bin strength training for a while now and just recently added HIIT training to my routine. LOVE it so far and looking to make some fellow HIIT loving friends.

    I saw that my friend rayne666 joined this group (above), and figured I would join as well. I've been gradually incorporating HIIT into my fitness program for the past few weeks.

    I listened to a great podcast episode on HIIT and now am looking to fit it into my program a bit more often. Here's the link if anyone is interested: http://www.brinkzone.com/general-fitness-info/brinkzone-radio-covers-hiit-training/

    Hi X_Tina,

    I"m doing dailyhiit.com, and have gone about it two ways. One way, I was told by a MFP user, was to log a hiit workout as about a 25-30 minute Calisthenics - Vigorous Effort workout. Even though the workouts may be 12-20 min, this takes into account the extra after-burn of a Hiit workout. This person also did a comparison for me for the afterburn, so that I wasn't OVER estimating how much i was burning later - it was only about an extra 70 cal. That was very helpful:)

    The other way I did it was to take my heart rate, plug it into an online calculator with minutes actually burned, and use that. That number was significantly higher, as I do work my *kitten* off on those workouts. I added that as a personal workout to my database, so using that, if i do a longer or shorter hiit workout, it adjusts the calories.
