2 minutes work and 30 minutes rest for twenty minutes seems like a lot when it comes to burpees. Personally, I think that burpees are to be done during short amounts of time. Burpees done with tabata works very well. What tabata is all about that you work for 20 seconds, rest for 10, and repeat that seven times. That makes it a total of eight times and it will take four minutes to complete. This might sound easy but it's absolutely killer. As you get better, you can also add intervals and go even further. With ten minutes of warmup and the several minutes it takes for your heart rate to go back down, this burns a lot of calories.
So I should do tabata burpees for my cardio? Is that enough? Or I should add anything more? Thanks for answer. |

What do you think, which one is better?
Do 30secs high interval and 45 secs low inverval, so overall, in 20mins i'm doing more high internsitiy work, but it's not 100% that I'm doing it with max effort. Or go for 30secs high intervals and longe rest, lets say 60 secs. Overall less high intersity work, but with longer rests, you can add more effort in the high interval.

Depends on what you're hoping to accomplish.

Lose the last remaining fat from lower abs and pecs. Maybe the last 4-5 pounds.

I'm kind of skeptical of HIIT. It's been out for so long, and if it produces such great results, how come it's not blasted over the news the way the Atkins diet is.
Im skepitical to anything that makes u cardio easy. Do a proper round of HIIT, and you'll discover that easy is the most inappropriate word to describe this type of cardio, and, like many things in life which offer great results, it requires much more work than people are ready to exert. If done properly, HIIT is far from easy cardio. As mentioned, you need far more will power to keep up the intensity. Because you constantly bounce back and forth between high and low intensities, your body has a tougher time adjusting as with SSC (solid state cardio), therefore it takes much more energy in less time. I do HIIT on a regular basis and only sometimes do regular cardio. I can easily run 10km at a steady pace in 50 minutes, yet I am far more wasted from the 4-5km that I cover with HIIT. Just try it and you'll be a believer  |

Hi guys! I've been doing steady state cardio every day for 2 months now and it became kinda boring to me, so I would like to try with HIIT, but I'm confused about one thing. How often should I be doing HIIT? I've read on several websites that it should be done no more than 3 times a week. Is that enough to keep losing weight like I do with steady state cardio?

It depends on what intensity you are able to keep up and for how many rounds. The key benefit of HIIT is that it boosts your metabolism for many hours after you finished it. You just have to push yourself all out for the duration of the session. If you are fairly new on the fitness scene, then 3 times per week is a solid start. Do you plan on doing any other workouts and/or sports besides HIIT? |

Neither. Eat at a caloric deficit. |

I do crossfit workouts, so basically sprint for 3-40 minutes straight depending on WOD, no rest, well the rest is usually an easy move like lunges or something.

is this considered HIIT?
-warmup 2 minutes (jog at 6 mph, 1.0 incline)
-sprint 1 minute @ 10 mph, 1.0 incline
-stand 1 minute on sides of treadmill
-sprint 1 minute @ 10 mph, 1.0 incline
...continue sprint/stand cycle until 20 minutes
according to the treadmill my HR was 189 BPM while I was sprinting (I'm 24, so max HR would be 191).

Yes, it does sound like a pretty good session  I am not completely sure about the exact numbers as they are all over the place no matter where you look. Basically, HIIT is performing at a very high intensity for time X, followed by a period of low intensity or rest for time Y. You go back and forth X/Y/X/Y... for a brief period of time. I've heard some say the work to rest is 2:1, while some say the opposite of 1:2. So sticking in between is a safe bet. I personally do 1:2, but that is because I drop to 7 mph for low intensity rounds. Hope this helps! |

I definately agree!
You really can get good results from High intensity Interval Training.
When I wanna get ripped this is my first port of call exercise wise.

Ok,so hello everybody on this great community!This is my first post here and I want to make a question based on HIIT. I'm 16 years old 78kgs and training almost every day inside the gym,I have just started my journey on getting my abs to look much better and get them ripped.They look preety good,but they just lack some edges. So...Here's the question. What do you think of these workouts that are all over the internet,speaking about HIIT inside like 4-10 minutes,that get you great results(they don't mention nutrition though  ) For example workouts from "six pack shortcuts" m100's Squat thrusts x10 Mountain climbers x 10 Squat jumps x10 Until you reach like 100 reps,or stuff like tabata(takes only 4 mins) and these kinda wokouts/ By now I believe you all know what I am talking about...Do you believe these wrokouts are actually as efficient as working out HIIT on a treadmill?(I usually do 1 min high 1 min low for 20 mins) I'm asking this because even though they're preety tiring I can't be sure if they actually burn calories. I am a student and I do not have much time for cardio,If these quick workouts actually work it would be great. Also could you recommend some exercises like burpees or jumping squats? |
