Weight Loss and Health

Some out there will swear by H.I.T. and others say its just OK. There are several variations of this training. You can walk, run, bike, stepper, and elliptical train with H.I.T. The basics behind it are to do short bursts of an exercise at a very high intensity like running at top speed for 20-30 seconds and then slowing to a jog for a minute or so and then repeating with each fast/slow being counted as a rep. Usually 10-12 Reps will be enough for the day. This is good as it saves time and its said that it burns more calories and fat.

Personally I have used this method on everything except biking. It gets your pulse up fast and allows you to do a more intense work out in a shorter period of time. I like to use the elliptical with this method. Now of course you have to lengthen the amount of time on your short bursts and shorten your slow go times as you get better and better at the particular exercise. This method on the stepper is brutal, but man does it work. By the Way I hate the stepper.

Using this method on the treadmill is good, but it can be slightly difficult just due to the changing of speeds. Tell me what you think.
