HIIT question

[deanie]

Hi all
Do you think I can sub HIIT on the treadmill instead of an Imax?
I like the shorter time frame but I don't want to lose any benefits of the Imax.
TIA,
Deanie

Sure Deanie. Interval work on a TM is AWESOME! }(

Well, since IMAX really isn't HIIT (it's interval, but not high-intensity), if you're looking for HIIT, then doing the a treadmill workout might be even better. (intervals only IMAX, with a low-intensity recovery move in between, would be more HIIT).

Great! Thanks guys. Lately I've really been enjoying the HIIT on my treadmill and would prefer a 20 min. cardio workout and then a nice stretch, to an hour long cardio workout.
