    I guess Ive been doing the HIIT thing for the past month and didn't know it, I think? I just do cardio every other day. Bike 15mins, Elliptical 15mins, up hill walk 5mins and jog 10mins all as fast as I can go except the walk

    quentien3 how many days per week to you do HIIT? I have been in a plateua and am familiar with the benefits. I normally run 5 days per week, and when I do intervals I usually do it inside on the treadmill and I will run regular pace 6.7mph, and then increase it to 7.5 to 8MPH for 30-45 seconds. Should I increase the Hight intesity time to 60 seconds? I usually only rest at 6.7 for 60sec...Also I usually like to get in at least 5 miles per day. what speeds would you recommend? How long do you warm up before you start? Thanks!!!

    Dawn! Running is great for calorie burn and Cardio (Cardiac/Heart health) the problem is Muscle memory. Although you are doing your thing, your muscles have adapted to that routine. I would strongly suggest incorporating some strength training to your routines. Limit your running to two days (Tues & Thus) for example and begin some strength training.
