Leg magic for the win, surely :)

Choice of cardio: a long run or outdoor HIIT running. The first is soothing, the 2nd is brutal.

i had tried HIIT running few yrs back... it was awesome...

what i did was to sprint 150Ms lets say i managed to complete it in X secs
then i rest until i think i am able to sprint 150Ms in X secs again...

after 1 week, i find myself to be able to cut down on the resting time... and it improves my running by alot...

within 12weeks
my 2.4km run iimproved from 12mins to 10min 30sec... thou not very fantastic, its a big achievement for me..

Lucku you need to see yourself in a more positive light!

2.4/10.5*60 = 13.7km/h. That is a really VERY fast pace to run 2.4km over!!

I have a hill right outside my house and decided to do some sprints. 15sec sprints 45 seconds to slow jog to the bottom of the hill to go again. Haven't done cardio in ages Planned to do 10 sprints, died at 5 or 6, so rooted i didnt know how many i did. I was coughin n spluttering for half hour after i finished. At least I don't have to do too much to better myself next time. much better than a jog
 
Squash is great at HIIT and also working a lot at the same time.
Heart rate up, heart rate down! fantastic stuff!!!
 
My standard session starts with 10 minutes on the exercise bike, 20 minutes on the treadmill with intervals of walking and running every minute and then my favorite, 20 minutes on the cross trainer.
