OH YEAH!!! I have just formulated a brief training guide line that will run for the next 6 weeks. It merges HIIT with weight training. Here is a bried outline.
HIIT Beginner's Layout
Minutes 1-4 (Warm-Up)
Jog at about 50% effort
Minute 5 (Workout Interval 1)
Sprint 30 seconds at maximum effort Jog/Walk 30 seconds
Minute 6 (Workout Interval 2)
Sprint 30 seconds at maximum effort
Jog/Walk 30 seconds
Minute 7 (Workout Interval 3)
Sprint 30 seconds at maximum effort
Jog/Walk 30 seconds
Minute 8 (Workout Interval 4)
Sprint 30 seconds at maximum effort
Jog/Walk 30 seconds
Minutes 9-12 (Cool-Down)
Jog at about 50% effort
After every two workout sessions, the number of "workout" intervals will be increased each time, up till about 10 total "workout" intervals. This will allow for a steady progression of fitness levels, and help one realise the full potential and results of interval training.
Tues – HIIT, 5 x 20 crunches
Wed – weight training 5 x 20 crunches
Thurs – HIIT, 5 x 20 crunches
Fri – weight training 5 x 20 crunches
Sat – Alternate Sats HIIT
Sun - Rest
I really can't wait for training to start. Oh my, its getting late, gotta have sufficient sleep!!! More details on weight training will be available on the next post.
