I do my Hiit workouts on a stationary bike using a timer. I follow a program from a book. My leg muscles hurt during the sprints, but it's over quickly. I like the fact that the workouts are short and not boring. You have to pay attention doing Hiit. I stay at 20 minutes twice a week. SS workouts on the bike are boring so probably will do dvds then.
Haven't been at it long enough to see results yet. I'll have to see after a month or so.

I pretty much only do Leslie's "boosts" as my HIIT these days. Jessica's are good too when I do her walking workouts.
I probably do those boosted workouts like twice a week. The other days are just regular walking, some strength training, some fusion, some CS/Ess. I'm down 25 lbs since a year ago, and I'm nearing 50 with a crap ton of hormonal issues from perimenopause. Fat loss for me was hindered by too much high intensity and hard workouts. I just couldn't recover from the HIIT programs of yesteryear anymore. Low and slow combined with calorie deficit has been the only combo for fat loss for me. I really enjoy Leslie's "boosts" and sometimes I now do mini-boosts on the treadmill with light jogging or climbing hills. I just know now that I can't overdo it or it's too much on my body to inhibit fat loss for me. |

I have tried doing this on elliptical and rower. I wish I liked the bike more. Maybe I should try the bike again since the workouts are so short. I think a timer would keep me more honest about my rest periods. |
