20 min elliptical HIIT (increasing speed + resistance).
20 min elliptical HIIT:
i increased my resistance every minute and i increased my speed every two minutes. you can adjust the speed range to your ability, but if you try this one, i urge you to keep the resistance levels the same as below. just go a little slower/faster to suit your ability.
| minute # | resistance level | speed range (MPH) |
| 0-1 | 6 | 6.0-7.0 |
| 1-2 | 6 | 6.0-7.0 |
| 2-3 | 8 | 7.0-8.0 |
| 3-4 | 10 | 7.0-8.0 |
| 4-5 | 12 | 8.0-9.0 |
| 5-6 | 14 | 8.0-9.0 |
| 6-7 | 8 | 7.0-8.0 |
| 7-8 | 10 | 7.0-8.0 |
| 8-9 | 12 | 8.0-9.0 |
| 9-10 | 14 | 8.0-9.0 |
| 10-11 | 8 | 7.0-8.0 |
| 11-12 | 10 | 7.0-8.0 |
| 12-13 | 12 | 8.0-9.0 |
| 13-14 | 14 | 8.0-9.0 |
| 14-15 | 8 | 7.0-8.0 |
| 15-16 | 10 | 7.0-8.0 |
| 16-17 | 12 | 8.0-9.0 |
| 17-18 | 14 | 8.0-9.0 |
| 18-19 | 8 | 12.0-13.0 |
| 19-20 | 6 | 5.0-6.0 |

(: I wanted to do this but I was wondering how I would do speed on the elliptical because it only has resistance and incline.instead of speed do I do incline?
Thank you .
Ps.looooove the blog
You could do incline.. or just go faster. That’s what I do on the elliptical, since you control how fast you are going.. just go a little faster each time :) Thanks for reading!
I want to do this tomorrow. Do you include any warm-ups or cool downs with this, or is it not necessary?
My elliptical only has strides/min. How do you translate mph to strides/min?
I’m not sure.. Here is an article: http://www.livestrong.com/article/304211-how-to-convert-elliptical-strides-to-miles/
Great tips! Thanks for the share. It has helped me a lot to gain stamina!
