Hill repeats on a bike at 105 to 120 % of my functional threshold power.1

Probably not HIIT.4 -
The Magic 50 if you have kettlebells
Tempo on any form of cardio (i.e. 45 seconds all out, 120seconds normal, repeat x5-7 times). Can be done with running, biking, rowing, jump rope, etc.
If you have done kickboxing classes before and know how to punch, you can do Burpies Conditioning. No equipment or space needed, and you can gas yourself in under 15minutes.
i.e. alternate Burpies and Shadow Boxing every 30 seconds, use the below pacing:
"Beginner Program
•4 x 2-minute rounds with 1 minute of rest between rounds
Intermediate Program(s)
•6 x 2-minute rounds with 1 minute of rest between rounds
•4 x 3-minute rounds with 1 minute of rest between rounds
Advanced Program
•6 x 3-minute rounds with 1 minute of rest between rounds
Master's Program
•6 x 3-minute rounds with 30 seconds of rest between rounds"

30 second sprint intervals on the bike trainer or hill repeats. I do them once per week as anymore than that would be overly taxing.1

I also like variety. I mix up with a lot of jump movements. jumping jacks, jump lunges, squat jumps, wall sits, burpees (different styles), monster tire jump/walk, skaters, etc... I will also put in some core work sometimes, mountain climbers, leg raises, planks, bicycle crunches, mason twists, etc.. I normally complete about 30 sec-1 minute work with about 40 second rest for about 25 to 30 minutes. Sometimes I will do sprint intervals on the treadmill 1 minute full run on and 1 minute off for about 20 minutes. I try to perform HIIT a couple times a week.
Keep it up. Glad you found something that you enjoy!2 -
I try to incorporate a HIIT workout 2x per week - generally in the form of interval circuits or plyometrics (think INSANITY-style workouts). Mountain climbers, lateral jumps, burpees, jumping lunges, etc. An ever-changing variety helps to push my limits.1
-
I do 15 minutes on my stationary bike - started with 4 minutes moderate 1 minute fast but now up to 2 minutes fast 1 minute really fast - I keep upping the resistance too. Once a week or so I do a tabata run on my bike instead - 4 minutes of 20 seconds flat out 10 seconds steady.
I also do tabata with various jumping exercises like jumping twists, burpees, squat jumps. The main thing is to pick an exercise that is strenuous enough.1 -
True HIIT, once every two weeks. I alternate with threshold training.
The interval sessions are generally only 10-12Km total distance though, very short.0 -
I use the peloton app and use a spin bike. I do a 30 minute hiit 3 days a week, but it's a 10 minute warm up, 5 minute cool down - 8 bursts for 30 seconds.0
-
I don't know if it's HIIT but I warm up for 1.5 miles at 9:00/mile, then I do anywhere between 8-12 intervals of 1/4 at 6:45/mile followed by 1/8 at 10:30ish/mile. 1.5 cool down.0

Tabatas! On the treadmill. 20 seconds all out, (I step to the side of the mill) 10 seconds rest. 8 times.0
-
I'm not sure if it's HIIT but a strength-training book has a couple of workout routines that mix up cardio, dumbbells, stretching, and (for one of the workouts), a beach ball.1
-
One 30 minute workout per week, times with songs. I have an awesome hard rock version of the Mary Tyler Moore song that is 60 seconds. That's my interval. Then I recover for 2-3 minutes. With timed songs.
On the elliptical.1 -

Sprint intervals. Not technically HIIT, but very few people claiming to be doing HIIT really are. It's a fashionable description for circuit training classes. Someone doing true HIIT isn't doing it more than once a week.3 -
I follow the Hasfit channel with Coach K on YouTube, although I think half of the HIIT workouts are more circuit trainings. Still good though if you like using kettlebells and dumbells Enjoy!2

With a HRM 30 seconds at target intensity 60 seconds at recovery intensity. Repeat.
Note, one round may take 5 minutes or longer. Do not exceed 10 rounds or 30 minutes... whichever comes first.
That's HIIT.1 -
I love using the Rotating Stairs (stairmill?) I will do 30 seconds as fast as i can then recover 30 seconds.. repeat till i die.0
-
Tabatas - 20 seconds on, 10 seconds rest, eight rounds
I do them with burpees and mountain climbers...sometimes other stuff2 -

I pet my cat then I stop and have a glass of tea then I do a scratch the cat's ears interval then I make more tea.
It actually is helpful to learn the difference between HIIT and not HIIT, if you're planning to do HIIT.8
