Ok lets try this again now that I have done more reading and trying to figure this all out.
I`m 29 years old, 210 lbs, atheltic to a degree (I can do many things without being on the floor) I ride my bike to and from work 4 times a week, each way is a 4km (13 minutes) ride so 8km total (26 min ride) my HR is about 150 the whole ride maybe a tad higher depending.
This is what i`m trying to do: Burn that fat! Get that cardio way better! I can do the ride without any winding at all and I`m starting to feel no tiredness at all so thats a sign. I just started the free weights for upper body. Nothing special just a few thing to increase some muscle and burn some fat.
Now being the hero I am, I was looking into HIIT but then came across Tabata. I tried it on Sunday. I went 20 second Sprint and well lets say my recovery is not 10 seconds but I did the 4 intervals.
Should I keep going at this? Should I go to HIIT with the longer rests or should I just keep trying to get my rests down in Tabata? Also how does my biking effect my Tabata schedule? I want to do Tabata 3 times a week. There are two days I guess it won`t really effect my Tabata if I do it on Saturdays and Mondays which I have off so no cycling. I do have a treadmill but it is well boring and i`m not sure what I should be doing on the treadmill to burn fat.
ANYTHING WILL HELP ME!!! PLEASE!!!!
