What is it? I wiki'd it, and I still don't get it. I have an elliptical to work with in my house. I'm trying to burn some extra stomach fat/flab.

I've already read that, still don't understand the point.

HIIT is a form of metabolic conditioning in which you do short bursts of high intensity activity (sprinting, fast swimming, etc.) and between the burst of activity you do low intensity activity (walking, jogging, slow swimming, etc.) The goal is to constantly move for the entire workout so a sample would be like sprint 100m then jog 100m then sprint 100m until you've sprinted 100m 8 times. This is very beneficial and more effective at burning fat and increasing vo2 max for beginners than long distance jogging.

You are allowed to rest aka do nothing between sessions of HIIT. That's what I do most of the time. This is more power biasing which can be beneficial depending on what you're working on. |

Ah, thanks for the correction Steve. |

A little confused here. You mean between entire sessions, right? Not individual sprints/jogs. That seems to go without saying so it makes me think that's not what you meant... On another note: From what I've seen, by not eating before and waiting about an hour to eat after, your body will eat up more fat to replace its energy stores. However, you can also eat before, allowing you to go harder and longer, burning more (more than possibly when waiting till after to eat) and upping your metabolism. |

No - you can rest between actual sets. This is desired in power training. |

So if I want to power bias my sprints I can do 60m sprint, sit down and rest for 6 minutes, 60m sprint, sit down and rest for 6 minutes, etc.
This is TRUE sprint training. You need full recovery between each set.
If you want to it be more metabolic you generally reduce rest times or include low intensity activity in the "down" time.

So if I am including sprints for power and speed in my workout regime and am doing 100m sprints, I should be sprinting the 100 then resting for 2-4 min. then doing it again 8 times? |

Full recovery would be ~1 min for every 10m run. Most people don't want to rest this much. You can get most of the benefit from about 60-80m runs with 5 minutes of rest between each (just like you would for heavy lifting). I would say do as many as you need... but in general you're supposed to stop whenever you feel your ability to run 100% decreasing. That may be at sprint 3-4 when you start.. If you're doing conditioning you might as well do a couple 400m repeats. :p |

So you can rest between sets in HIIT training if you are trying to power bias? Ok then. I thought the point of high intensity interval training was doing intervals of varying intensities of work? To me that just sounds like a typical work out.

HIIT comes in many shapes and sizes. The definition you are referring to is the commonly used term. I would tend to agree, though, that when you do HIIT for weight loss that the rest interval times should be low. |
