sorry to revive this post but i am trying to get into elliptical HIIT as well and there are 2 programs I am looking at - please review! The first one has more "down time" and the hiit interval is longer (i have read that HIIT interval should be min 10secdson -30/40 seconds). The second one gives minimal rest and changes it up quite a lot i think i need to really "watch the clock" when the intervals gets changed...
program 1:
20 minutes: 2 min "rest", 1 min hiit. the resistance nad incline changes as the time increases.
Program 2:
3 minute warm/cool
Round 1: 20 HIIT with 10 rest X8
Rest 1 minute
Repeat above 2 more rounds with increasing resistance.

If you're going at close to 100% effort you'll likely find 30 seconds is enough. A minute would be pretty brutal if you're doing it right. What I do is 30 seconds balls out effort, rest as long as it takes to feel like I'm not gasping for air, 1.5 to 2 minutes usually, and that's enough to make me feel like throwing up sometimes.i do that around 5-7 times.

HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training) is a popular workout style that combines short periods of intense exercise with periods of rest or active recovery. This type of workout has been shown to provide numerous health benefits, including improved cardiovascular fitness, increased muscle endurance, and fat loss.
An Elliptical HIIT Workout is a type of HIIT workout that specifically involves using an elliptical machine. Elliptical machines are low-impact exercise machines that mimic the motion of running, but with less stress on the joints, making them a great option for people with knee or joint issues.
During an Elliptical HIIT Workout, you perform short intervals of high-intensity exercise on the elliptical machine, followed by periods of lower intensity or active recovery. These high-intensity intervals can range from 30 seconds to 2 minutes and can be done at different resistance levels, speeds, or incline levels to challenge different muscles and energy systems.
The benefits of Elliptical HIIT Workouts include improved cardiovascular health, increased endurance, and fat loss. In addition, because the elliptical machine is low impact, it is also a great option for people who are new to exercise, older adults, or those recovering from an injury.
It is important to warm up properly before beginning any HIIT workout and to listen to your body, adjusting your intensity and taking rest breaks as needed. Hydration is also key, so be sure to drink plenty of water before, during, and after your workout.
