HIIT vs. SSC

[Fit_mommy]

My thoughts exactly! Do what you love and be happy with it.

I couldn't agree more! I've recently found a new cardio training style that I love so I am running with it! I don't care what the "experts" say. It's working for me and I am having fun doing it so that's all that matters!

I attended a personal training seminar session on HIIT. True HIIT is working at a level where you can't sustain it longer than 20-30 seconds max (not even 31 seconds) and where 20 minutes is about as long as you can physically do it. It sounds like morningstar is doing high intensity interval training, and I'm sure in the big picture it burns as many calories as a 20 min. HIIT session. But, in the true definition of HIIT, it's not. Like the OP said, if it's effective, who cares what it's called!

I burn about 630-665 calories in that 65 minutes.

Thank you! I will be making this pre-mix to take to the gym tomorrow.

Carrie, did you try it yet? What'dya think? I think this would be hard to do with a machine - too many quick changes. I do it outside running.
