Hi Guys and Girls,
I am not new to exercise but am new to HIIT and have made a little exercise routine I wondered if anyone could glance over and offer any comments.
Background
33 year old male, 87Kg, BF% around 18. Have been recently (6 months) running 5km about twice a week on a treadmill. On some of the hard runs I have done my HR monitor has clocked a peak HR of 196, and my resting HR is around 55.
Goal
Increase my general fitness and cardio / health.
Plan
After some research on brianmac I have decided on this routine which I did the other day and enjoyed.
5 min warmup (9kmh 2%inc)
15 x (30sec sprints @18kmh 8%inc)
Rest until my HR drops to 140bpm(60% Max HR) Complete stop of running standing on side of treadmill.
5 min cooldown (9 kmh 2% inc)
I calculated my HR zones using karvonen method.
I plan on doing this HIIT Mon, Wed, Fri with weight sessions spread out.
