hey peeps i just found out my body fat percentage today. teh guy measured my height, asked my age and i was told to stand on this thing that apparently told me my body fat percentage as well as other things. I have 18.6% bf and im going to try and get it down to 10-12% by end of June. I do HIIT on the treadmill and i was wondering what you guys thought of it? is it good enough for me to do every other day in order to lose the body fat that i want? (o and ofcourse diet plays a huge part in it as well but lets assume im gettin my proteins in and am eating a generally healthy diet). ok heres what i do on teh treadmill:
2 mins 8 kph
2 mins 14 kph
1 min 8 kph
2 mins 14 kph
1 min 8 kph
2 mins 14 kph
1 min 8 kph
2 mins 14 kph
1 min 8 kph
2 mins 14 kph

14 kph is my fast running speed and 2 kph is just above my walking speed. is this good enough to lose teh body fat i want? i do alot of weights as well.
If you have other variations of HIIT on the treadmill id love to c them so post them if you want and mayb i can try them out myself and see if its better :D
 
my replies to that question is, well u suggest that u don't run on the treadmill, i use to run on there too but running on a track is much better or running outside with a friend, running outside you would burn much more calories due to the condition of the weather right now and same thing goes for running on the track more calories burned due to using more energy to move foward and pushing yourself. Also swimming is good cardio to lose bf%. When i ran on the treadmill for almost everyday in the summer my eduarnce and speed increased i ran at level 10, 30 min but by the end of summer by bf% stayed the same at 15%. I started running on the track doing long distance and adding intervals and my bf% is now 9-10% around there. Good luck but this is just my advice form what 've seen.:D
 
You won't inherently lose more or less fat by running indoors or outdoors (ie treadmill or track) the pushing forward for momentum you mention multifitness can easily be accounted for by using an incline on a treadmill.

If your primary goal is to lose body fat, any cardio is good, intervals are better but, the specific speed necessary to get your heart rate up will depend on your age, fitness levels etc. I would also look at the nutrition threads and weight loss threads on this forum. The kitchen is the other place where bodyfat% is lost.

Good luck with your goals.
