Guest guest Posted July 14, 2004 Report Share Posted July 14, 2004 I'm just getting started with this HIIT. is that right ? Or is it HITT ? seems I've seen it both ways.. anyhow, when I get to the place where I am suppossed to be at a level 10 there are usually tears in my eyes and some grunting going on because of the extreme burning in my calves and thigh muscles.......My heart rate monitor is at 145 or so (for me that is the aerobic lvl) Most of the rest of the 20 min. I am at 120 BPM to 130 BPM. I have HBP an am on a diuretic atm. I figured this was all good towards getting me to my goals , am I right ? I am just doing the 3x a week cardio and 3x a week weights, eating right, setting goals etc. like the BFL book says and HOPING to see lots of good results.

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2004 Report Share Posted July 14, 2004 You'll see results sooner than I... cuz I'm still having a hard time sticking to the food plan... but I'm not missing any workouts. You sound like you're right on track... and your description of the level 10 cardio is dead-on... LOL... seems I'm the only one in the cardio room grunting, too, but fortunately most of them have walkmans so they don't hear me! I've been getting up higher and higher on the incline. Still not ready to give up the treadmill for another form of cardio yet, though! Re: is this ridiculous? (help from runners?)-Stacey My HIIT is like in the book, but I do it on a Step machine.
