HIIT - For cardio

High intensity interval training (HIIT) is commonly used to increase cardiovascular fitness (Cardio). HIIT is a very broad term for training in intervals. More specific interval training styles are things like 'Tabata' and the 'little method'. Tabata in particular is extremely popular used by MMA fighters and commonly used in a fitness organisation called 'Crossfit'. I've been testing out different methods of interval training because i really don't like long distance cycling and running. Interval training is excepted as better then long distance anyway. So here's the best i've got so far. It kills.

Cycling:
3 minutes warm up (6mph)

30 seconds (15mph +)
30 seconds (5mph MAX)
x8

5 minutes cool down  (6mph MAX)

This is what i've so far and i might change it before i post my new training schedule
as always have a nice train
BYEBYE
