    I love HIIT, before I used to do sprints however I am currently injured so now I am using Battling Ropes, ill do 20 seconds work 40 seconds rest for 20 rounds, ill do that once a week. during my second rest day ill do the same format above but ill switch from doing ropes to pushups and pullups which would be 10 rounds ropes, 5 rounds pushups and 5 rounds pullups

    In grad school my HIIT routine (treadmill) was 2 min warmup at 6 mph then 6 sets of 13 mph for 1 min. with 1 min rest periods of 6 mph.

    In and out and dead tired in 15 mins...

    I'm gunna take a shot in the dark and guess battling ropes are those heavy things you see on biggest loser. I had to switch to doing some HIIT because I hate exercise and can't do my sports because of a shoulder injury so ropes won't work for me:(

    I do like the sounds of the 1/1 but 6 mph is more like a sprint than a rest for me.. haha. I may just give it a try after I get bored of some of the ones I have written down.

    I am actually doing the Turbo Fire program of Chalene Johnson and it has several HIIT routines in it. ASince I did Insanity before this, I find Chalene workout quite easy.

    Seconded... Insanity is harder than any HIIT I've ever done -- the "on" intervals are 3+ minutes, and the "off" only 30 seconds.

    I just started doing Tabata. Not sure why I'm doing that to myself.
