Looking for a HIIT (high intensity interval training) partner

I'm 6'2" and weighed 210 last summer when I realized that I needed to change. I was introduced to high intensity interval training (HIIT) and found that I love it.

Over the course 5.5 months, I lost 35 lbs and feel so much better. I'm no longer tired all the time, I have more energy, my stamina is better, and I'm comfortable with my shirt off (I'm a guy).

I'm done losing weight and maintaining between 175-180 lbs. But to continue my participation with HIIT, I'm looking for a partner that I can share goals, objectives, results and success stories.

Is anyone interested in partnering/sharing in HIIT? If so, give me a shout.

Thanks.

Hi. I also am a HIIT person. I have a love/hate relationship with it. I love that I do it but I hate it while I'm doing it. It is a great way to drop the lbs though. I do it on the Arc trainer at my gym. I have been doing it 3x/week. Twice a week I do 3 mins warm up, 1 min at level 45 and then 2 mins at 25, I then continue on the 1 min/2 min routine for 30 mins. Once a week I do a 30 sec/1 min at resistance 25/60. This one I just started doing so I do it well for 20 mins and then fall apart pretty quickly and just try to keep going for 10 more mins while I work up my endurance on that one.

That sounds great Susan. I know what you mean about the love/hate relationship.

I love the Arc trainer, no impact on my joints and provides a great warm up. I typically use it for 15 minutes before my HIIT and I've noticed that I can push my body harder during the workouts after getting a proper warm up.

Keep up the good work, your rewards await you.

HIIT Training is amazing. I got introduced to it probably 3-4 months ago. I love doing it after my workouts, makes it ridiculously challenging. For me, I do jumprope to treadmill hiit - about 10-15 minutes of alternating between 6-10 mph jog/run for 25-30 seconds, then 30 seconds of jump rope fast/slow. I only do it 2-3 times a week but after I am done it feels so good knowing the type of exertion placed on the body!

Hey Mr. Decay
I lost the buddy request you sent. What do you do your HIIT on? I'm thinking of trying the treadmill but I'm afraid of what I don't know. I have started doing a shorter 30 sec/60 sec HIIT on the arch to mix up the 60/120 sec arch routine.
