I'm just curious as to how others do their HIIT cardio workout. Like what durations/time sets you use, on what machine, etc
This summer when a trainer explained to me what HIIT was, he set me up to do a 2 minute (or longer) warm-up followed by 4 sets of 3-minute high intensity with rest sets of 2 minutes in between (for a total of 20 minutes). And then of course a cool-down. The machine he put me on I just LOVED but I have checked multiple gyms where I live now and I can't find anything like it. I don't know it's technical name but the brand was an ArcTrainer and the arm handles moved. The foot action was kind of a mix between a stair-stepper and an elliptical; but you weren't really "stepping" nor where your feet going in a circular motion ....
Anyway, so I've been trying to do my 20 minute HIIT on an elliptical but I just don't quite feel like I'm getting the same results (Yes, I DO need to get a heart rate monitor and I am in the process of looking for one!!)
But I was just wondering what everyone did for their HIIT for some ideas on how I can change it up....
