I’ve been doing HIIT for a while now. It is a real kick in the gut but it WORKS. I’ve always been in good shape but this has given me an even sharper edge. Guys, if you start doing HIIT and are tempted to quit because of the intensity, I encourage you to push through. 🙂

My routine is simpler… I just jog/sprint/jog/spring/jog for 20 minutes. At this point, I can run 3 miles in right around 18 minutes. Incidentally, that happens to be the maximum possible score you can achieve in the Marine Corps boot camp.

I like HIIT because there’s lots of flexibility with your routine. You can personalize it. And it doesn’t require any equipment.

I’m doing this because I’m potentially about to go into the smokejumpers next spring. (I’m on the short list of 150 referrals selected from the pool of applicants nationwide). I’ve been on the Forest Service hotshot fire crews for 4 years and this has been my dream. But the jumpers are a cut above that… their “boot camp” is pretty insane, much harder than Army or Marine boot camps, from all accounts I’ve heard.

Love this style of workout too. I setup a home gym with the intention of doing ALOT more of this. I bought the Insanity / T25 workouts, and they are good but tough as nails.

I havn’t been able to stick to a program yet though. I have been focusing more on outdoor activities for strength / aerobic over the last year.

It’s summer down under now, with temps around 30 most days, might be time to dust off the discs, load up on water and smash out the calisthenics.

I can’t blame you T25 is hell yes i did it for a week and needed prolo in one knee very intense but i weighted in at 243 at that time.

I rather get the free HIIT training off youtube, i can stick to these program some are 10 minutes other like that one 20 but don’t have the danger of T focus 25.

Silver Fox i am very new to HIIT i hate long cardio sessions i also have a home gym, i just remember the hell of doing 1h stationary bike and so on stair master skip one day and lose all motivation, for me its to do less more intense and get the same if not better results.

Thanks for your feedback its stuff like this i am looking for. I will try to HIIT 3 times per week if i can, along with my weight training.

Three times a week is perfect. I usually do M/W/F, with rests on the other days. Expect to see the first results (i.e. you feel stronger, breathe easier, etc) after about 3 or 4 sessions. Then expect to see continued improvement after every other session.

Of course, you can sabotage yourself too, if you eat badly/irregularly, don’t get enough sleep (my personal bad habit), or drink too much alcohol. Also, I find that it’s important to eat nothing for at least a couple hours before doing HIIT, otherwise you’ll feel heavy and maybe like puking.

On the hotshots, we would typically devote two hours every morning to PT if we weren’t on a fire somewhere. And we trained very hard, with combinations of trail running, forced hikes with full packs and equipment, weights, calisthenics, and other imaginative forms of torture. 🙂 Most of it was centered around endurance and stamina because that’s what you need in wildland firefighting. But I discovered HIIT earlier this year and it’s helped me get faster results than I’ve been able to achieve before. It’s well worth it, in my experience.

Yannick44, I agree that doing long cardio sessions can be discouraging. The time investment and the limited results don’t foster a lot of motivation. I think the best combination is HIIT about 75% of the time, and the other 25% divided between long, slower cardio sessions and some other workouts or even stretching, yoga, or whatever.

We have been fed lies for so long bro its amazing, protein G we need, eat this not that, i train everyday with weights ok not lying i don’t hit failure, and i lift moderate weights, nothing too heavy i injured my back and was in chronic pain 11y now i am massive but still have a good 20 to lose massive and fat gut and love handles….. i rather be slim not weighting myself right now i must be around 230 225 from around 258 last year last time i weighted myself was 2 months ago 225 but my diet suffered and i cheated a lot.

I love training and cardio makes me happy all the endorphins going crazy. But i wanna to build a great body that i can be proud of this is my goal this year.

I can help people here but i can also use help on territories i am much less familiar with like cardio and some people have great diet tricks to give you has well, i am mostly vegan now and loving it.

I am also intermittent fasting so i always train on an empty stomach i trained a few times fasted for 24h and my energy level was high, but you don’t want to over do it because you can get very fatigue if you fast for too long everyday. I fast 16-18h and hit a bigger fast when i cheated.

My diet suffers too yes i eat sugar, but i never ever drink alcohol i don’t smoke and i never use drugs either.

Drink lots of water and green tea during the fast.

I have a fat burner with ephedra that i use on some days it gives good energy but i don’t like using that crap a lot.
