Hey nation,
I've been adding cardio to my routine recently, and I am looking for some workouts. I absolutely hate treadmills, can't stand them. I go out to the parking lot behind my gym that is normally empty and I run 6-10 50 yard sprints with 30 seconds of walking in between. I do that 2-3 times per week. Does anyone have good workouts for the stair climber or bike that fit into the HIIT category, not steady state, for fat burning? Thanks!

Just do the same thing you would do on a treadmill (1-2 minutes running 1 minute jogging) on the stair-climber or bike. So just bike hard for a period, then bike casually for a minute and repeat, or go hard on the stair-climber for a period, then casually.

 

And going hard could be increasing resistance instead of just going faster if you wanted to do it that way.

 

Or you could do some weighted circuit stuff, and throw like 30 seconds of stairmill or bike work into the circuit?

 

As long as you're doing hard work followed by some rest/active rest in between, then it's HIIT.
