    Is this HIIT or interval training?

    Hi, Thanks. I just wanted to say that being a circuit workout is not mutually exclusive with being an interval workout.

    Which Is Harder? MIC or Imax 3???

    For me (my perceived exertion) and my Heart rate monitor , MIC wins by a longshot. I burn almost 300 calories/ IMAX3 (more for the original IMAX) and over 500 for MIC.

    Be Aware

    A certain poster is digging up old posts, some over a year old and some are answering without reading previous replies,thinking it is a new post. One example is Cathe's 40th birthday post (this is well over a year old and is not relevant anymore). We should wish her a belated 41st ;) and the...
