Dear /fit/,I've been doing HIIT for about 8 weeks now. I grow bored of it, despite how kick ass it is and how well it has been working. Long distance running bores me even more so.I want to switch to doing sprinting routines for my weight loss. Anyone have any suggestions about the best way to go about this? I figure, the idea is to keep the pulse rate up, so do a 200m or 400m sprint, take a 30 second break, rinse and repeat a few times? Would that work out alright?
enjoy your hiit
>>204402The difference with HIIT though is that you keep moving during your rests, right?

I very much doubt you'd be able to sprint 200 or 400 metres.HIIT is boring after a while, yes, but just stick with it. It only takes 20 minutes at the very most.
lol @ Tyson
Are you guys retarded?HIIT = high intensity interval training. Nowhere does it say "high intensity interval running"You can be swimming, running, or doing jumping jacks for fuck's sakes.
>>204427The important factor is just keeping your pulse above 75% of your max, right?
>>204427Granted, but it's a lot easier to increase and decrease your pace whilst running than it is when swimming.>>204442Yes.
>>204450I don't really think how fast you're going matters compared to how hard you're working.
>>204458Going faster normally = working harder.
>>204458They're basically the same thing, unless you want to do some lame inclined walking or something.Stop trying to complicate things. Just stick with the most common and effective HIIT workout.
ITT: People who've never done any swimming besides dicking around in a kiddy pool.It's good to switch things up. Besides the fact that you'll get bored as fuck doing your workout, if you do the same old shit for too long your body gets used to it and it loses its effectiveness.
>>204482Uh, no. You can do HIIT for years on end and it'll still produce results. It's just a means of getting your heart rate to rapidly increase and decrease again.
