HIIT in the gym?

[tyhigaki]

What would be a good program for this? My gym is small w/limited space.

[HayesEthan]

Yeah i'm rather new to the whole HIIT thing, never done it before,
Is the mourning the only best time to do this, because I still go to school and that would be rather difficult?
And im rather out of shape, so whats a good time to start off doing? 15 mins?

start off with a 10-15 sec sprint and a 60 sec walk after warming up. repeat for 10-15 mins.

I do 30 seconds of a brisk walk, and a 30 second sprint.

just do it on a treadmill. Set the pace, and jump on the sides when you finish your interval. I do a five minute warmup, set the incline on 12, set the speed on 10mph and go for 20 secs, then jump off on the sides and rest 40 secs, so on and so forth. You can do it on any cardio piece really, jsut up to you

[HayesEthan]

Yeah but will afterschool be good also? Will it work just as good as in the mourning, I mean I know not better but still burn alot of fat?

its better in the morning so u dont overheat.

my gym has a track that i can use.. im out of shape as far as running is concerned but this is what i do..

my track laps are 1/8th of a mile

i do 2 warmup laps jogging.. then i sprint half a lap, jog half a lap.. and do it 5 total times.. then every week i up the laps by 1.. so next week ill be doing it for a total of 6 times

its better in the morning so u dont overheat.

this too depending on where u live but if ur gym has a track u can use that if u want.. you can do it on a treadmill too as someone else here stated but that isnt the best option

so you just started and how long do you do it for? time-wise

ya i just started last week... id say maybe 8-10 mins.. obv itd be optimal if u can go longer than that.. but after 5 laps half sprint/half jog im dead.. thats why im increasing 1 lap every week.

[HayesEthan]

ok but i mean i can do it int he mourning i have weightlifting 2nd block, but really dont wanna get that sweaty throughout the whole day, which i can go to the gym afterschool, so doing it on the treadmill there will be good also?

and run for 30 seconds jog for 60 6 times? or all together just keep doing it until 10 mins is up or w/e?

used to do the same in xc...but i quit cause i looked like a dumbass just sprinting around the field and walking again xD didnt wanna get asked questions att anyway cause i was pretty awkward..
