I'm reading this thread and following it.
But, you've done a good job with that article.
I'd love for Boyd to put his in here too....but I thought his was around here somewhere. Can't you quote it and put it in here, or is that not allowed?
I will also say that I do HIIT on the same day that I do weights. I just do HIIT in the morning before work, and then do weights in the evenings.
BUT...in your article, it says you do HIIT for either 10 or 15 minutes. I think it's important to say that you normally have to build up to that, if you're not in decent condition already. If you're doing HIIT properly, you should be exhausted after only 5 minutes of it.
Most of the time I do mine for 15 minutes, but that's with a 2.5 minute warm up and cool down.
So, I'm actually only doing HIIT for 10 minutes. I do it about 4 times a week.
One day a week, I'll do it for 20 minutes total (so HIIT for 15 and a 2.5 minute warm up and cool down).
It doesn't sound like a lot, but honestly, it's really all I need to keep my bodyfat low.
If I did anymore, I'd be invisible...LOL.
