20-15-10 HIIT

this HIIT routine will keep you from being bored on the cardio equipment at the gym because you will use 3 different machines.

45 minutes of High Intensity Interval Training:

  • 20 minutes on treadmill
  • 15 minutes on elliptical
  • 10 minutes on stairmill

this is how it breaks down:

treadmill=20 minutes

incline=0

  • 2 min @ 6.0

four sets of this interval cycle, increasing the incline by 0.5 each time (starting at 0.5 and ending at 2.0) make sure you range from a “level 6” to a “level 9” during each set.

  • 1 min @ 6.0
  • 1 min @ 6.5
  • 1 min @ 7.0
  • 1 min @ 7.5

high point “level 10”

  • 1 min @ 9.0

elliptical=15 minutes

i pushed hard for 4 minutes and took it easy for 1 minute, three times through.

  • 4 min level 7 @ 9-10mph
  • 1 min level 2 @ 7mph
  • 4 min level 7 @ 9-10mph
  • 1 min level 2 @ 7mph
  • 4 min level 7 @ 9-10mph
  • 1 min level 2 @ 7mph

stairmill=10 minutes

i did a minute each of fast, medium, slow twice through then finished off with a minute of fast and a minute of slow twice through.

  • 1 min @ level 12
  • 1 min @ level 8
  • 1 min @ level 4
  • 1 min @ level 12
  • 1 min @ level 8
  • 1 min @ level 4
  • 1 min @ level 12
  • 1 min @ level 4
  • 1 min @ level 12
  • 1 min @ level 4
