THis week I have started HIIT. I want to see how my 44 year old body reacts. So far, so good. I have a 5k in mid June and really want to beat my time.
My first day of HIIT, I used the eliptical. Warmed up for 7 minutes. Then I started at 4.5 mph for a minute, then I would shoot up to 11.5 mph. Check my heart rate and then repeat for 20 minutes. I will definitley change the overall time to 30 minutes. It felt real good !
The next time I hit the gym, I used the treadmill. Much harder !
4 mph, 1 minute, 7.5 mph 1.5 minutes. 30 minutes total. Definitley harder. I do love the way the sprint feels. They say that HIIT doesn't need to use a lot of time. But, I notice I want to go longer. But, I am trying to keep it to a minimal time to see how it works and feels. I will review it again in a couple of weeks.
