Hi all,
Great thread, just trying to get back into training now with my main goal to cut fat not too worried about muscle.

Yesterday I tried some HIIT, i did 200m sprint, 200m walk (8laps of the track) plus a warm-up of about 3 laps. I found it amazingly difficult but I didnt feel like i worked long enough. I was thinking maybe a 20-30min jog first and then do this HIIT for 15 mins. Any suggestions? I really want to burn the fat from my stomach.

I hear people talking about 10-30sec max efforts but someone I spoke to said if im spring max effort any shorter than about 200m i just wont feel the benifit. What do you think? I was going to try today: Sprint the long sides and walk/jog the corners?

Does it matter whether i walk or jog the corners? (during my rest period) - I was REAL tired?

Anybody tried HIIT in water? Top speed swim 1 legnth slow swim 2 legnths? What do you think?

Thanks in advance for any help guys/girls.

This site recommends a 50%/50% (jog/sprint balance)...
