Good HIIT routine for beginners?
- Thread starter Duff McWhale
- Start date
When I do HIIT I typically either do sprints or stationary bike. I think bike is my favorite because I'll do 30 seconds all out with the resistance cranked up and then 1 minute low intensity then repeat
For sprints it's similar. 30 seconds all out then 1 minute walking at a moderate pace then repeat
I typically limit the session to about 15 minutes, and I am DONE by the time it's over
Also don't do HIIT more than about 2-3 times per week to not Overstress the CNS

i was thinking about running stairs. 45 seconds moderate/15 seconds all out. 5 min warmup and 5 min cooldown at the end. no breaks at all between rounds?

no, thinking about doing a 5 min run in place warmup, or just walkign whatever. then 45 seconds run in place at the bottom of the stairs and then 15-30 seconds hit it hard. rinse repeat. then a cooldown for 5 mins at the end. like a 20 min hiit session
Dude you have to be careful with doing the stairs with it. It's hard to get your intensity high enough for true HIIT, and it's not exactly safe either trying to take the stairs or stepmill that fast.

Sage advice... I'll be waiting to hear how he broke his clavicle later on.
Do wind sprints, burpees and tire flips. Shit will get you where you wanna be.

Hiit is more easily accomplished doing high intensity low rest interval training with cable weights. Lots of reps and a 10 sec breather then again.

Good call. Honestly I think sprints or the bike work best for HIIT

I like sprints. Me and my gf go to the outdoor soccer field we have here. Its artificial turf. Throw on the turf shoes. I set up cones at 25yds 50 75 and then 100. We do shuttles so 25yds then back then 50 then back then 75 then back and then all the way too 100 yds and back. Thats one and we do that till we cant anymore
