I like it the best... many different methods for doing this.. you can use a bike, walk/jog, run on the spot, whatever... Basically, you warm up for about three or four minutes... then, go hard for about 30 seconds, then slow down for 30 seconds... go hard for 30, slow for 30... keep that pace up for a bit, then cool down... The whole process should take about 20 minutes.. The above is just one way of doing this, there are many... as fsdsk suggests, use fit buddy to do a search and find other options that may work for you! t -------------- Tim I count him braver who overcomes his desires than him who conquers his enemies, for the hardest victory is over self. - Aristotle You have the power to change a life right in your own hands. - Paul Brandt

I think I had heard of it in its most primitive form and have been trying to get at least one sprint in to my bicycle workout. My 'instructor' probably knows less about fitness than I do, which is why I finally had to go look for help on the net. I definitely will be including HIIT in my workouts from now on . Thanks again -------------- Im must, I must , I must be fit or Burst
