Hey Becky, Like MJ said, I agree totally. I have been using HIT now for about 4 years and it has made a big difference in my physique. I think that a lot of people don't give it a chance before passing judgement because it advocates using compound exercises, going to failure, and then resting...

I train with a partner and it's great! We both are about the same size and train in the same way, HIT. When I don't have a partner, the routine has to change and I cannot push myself as hard (because I go to failure). Instead of using free weights, I then have to change mostly to machines. A lot...

Can you do 10 minutes of cardio maybe 2-3 times per week? If you can, then try HIIT. Checkout this website then if your interested I'll tell ya what I do. http://www.musclemedia.com/training/hiit.asp

All those mags are very seductive, you know with the high gloss pictures of beautiful people with great physiques. Almost makes you believe that you can look like that if you do or take what they say. It's crap! Don't even bother with them anymore.

Promises 2" off! Who promises 2" off? Read the fine print. Probably says you must also watch your diet and do sit ups.

Maybe they work if you already have a 6 pack! If its hidden under a layer of fat then I don't think any amount of electrical stimulation is going to do any good. It's snake oil!

I don't smoke or drink, never have and never will. My dad smoked all his life. Had a massive heart attack at 49 and died of lung cancer at 59. I was 19 at the time. Wish I still had him here. I know, I know, everyone can find someone who smokes and drinks and lives to be 95, but it is the...

Does it work? I seriously doubt it! Want a 6 pack? Then I think you need to watch the diet and do sit ups.

I think the bike is the only way to go, but then I have flat feet.

1 time a week for lifting (HIT style like DaCypher said), 3 times a week for cardio.

I also do static holds on some exercises, like weighted dips. Feels great!

I know, I know, only doing 10 minutes of cardio sounds puny, but let me tell you at the end of the time I am sucking air big time. Now everyone else at the gym rides the machines for 30-40 + minutes and they don't reach near the intensity that I do in 10. It is a bit embarrassing when I sprint...

Sorry, Guinness, spelled your name wrong.

Guiness, Cypher, Here are a couple of sites that are good sources for HIIT. http://www.stumptuous.com/fartlek.html http://www.musclemedia.com/training/hiit.asp They explain it quite well. I know that 10 minutes is hard to believe, but that is all I do.

Cypher, I think that there have been some threads on HIIT that can explain it better than I can. Apparently, this method is more effective at burning body fat. I don't know about the science, maybe someone else can fill us in. Here's what I do. I ride a stationary bike, but you can do it with...
