Really, the full benefit of HIIT is running on a track, not on a machine, I was just being a smartass.
It's just that you can burn the same amount of calories doing HIIT in eight minutes that you would do at a normal pace for twenty minutes.
It also decreases muscle catabolization. Compare the bodies of cross-country runners and sprinters, sprinters usually have much more muscle.
If you are just trying to stay in shape, it might be satisfactory for you, since you aren't weight-training, also there is nothing more fucking boring than half an hour of cardio.
Just my opinion. I've actually heard that doing HIIT on elliptical machines is better than treadmills, so eh, do whatever you wanna do.
Just know, your ass will get burnt out quickly, if you do it properly.
