  • Jenicra - HIIT I think is high intensity interval training. It's meant to really make the body work hard and burn fat fast. BFL uses it as their cardio component.
  • Good description of HIIT. I took the description pretty much verbatim from BFL. I rate my intensity on a scale of 1-10, with 1 being way easy and 10 being me pushing as hard as I possibly can. I start out at a 5 and warm up for five minutes. Then, I push myself up to a 6 for a minute. Then, a 7 for a minute, etc, all the way up until I'm hitting a 10 for a minute. Then I go back down to a 5 and repeat. It's a great workout - leaves me sweaty and out of breath every time!
