    Interval Cardio Question

    This question is directed for cardio in general but more so for interval cardio considering I do the following routine.

    Walking on Treadmill (3.5mph): 2 minutes
    Sprinting on Treadmill (7.5mph): 1 minute

    Walking on Treadmill (3.5mph): 2 minutes
    Sprinting on Treadmill (7.5mph): 1 minute

    Walking on Treadmill (3.5mph): 2 minutes
    Sprinting on Treadmill (7.5mph): 1 minute

    Walking on Treadmill (3.5mph): 2 minutes
    Sprinting on Treadmill (7.5mph): 1 minute

    Walking on Treadmill (3.5mph): 2 minutes
    Sprinting on Treadmill (7.5mph): 1 minute

    Do you guys think this is enough when done 3-4 times a week to see any kind of benefit for fat loss? Or should I be doing less/more?

    great speed...but your times should change
    your rest periods are way to huge if you want awesome results.
    I just seen this guy get off his treadmill today after his training...haha
    looked like he just came outta the ocean.
    Warm up 2 mins
    Hard for 30 seconds
    slow for 30
    hard for 30
    until u reach 10 mins
    cooldown 2 mins
    3x a week 4 if you want

    I should definitely try something like that. I use to live and die with low intensity cardio but with my new job now I just don't have the time to walk on the treadmill for 45 minutes after I lift, so I need something I can bang out in under 15 minutes.

    Will this be your first time trying this approach? If so, I would HIT for 1 minute and LIT for 30 secs for a duration of 15 mintues to start.

    I've tried it a for a month about a year ago. I liked it a lot, but I had to stop with my knees acting up, but they feel fine again.
