Wolfy: Do you have any good articles on High Intensity Anaerobic Interval Training?
Not really, I have a few books but I'd have to type them out. The wikipidea article is a pretty good intro High-intensity interval training. I use the Tabata method a lot and it really works. A lot of people have had success with the Body For Life version of HIIT and it's pretty easy to understand.
Basically just alternate between periods of high intensity cardio and low intensity cardio.
You can put the intervals in the middle of your long duration cardio.
For example 20 min
5 min cycling
4 min tabata
5 min cycling
4 min tabata
2 minutes cycling.
The Body for life program is set up like that too.
Or you can do straight intervals. Like 400 meter sprints, hill sprints and stuff like that. 400 meter sprints take the fat off very fast. I have a good training progression if someone wants to try. But initially the long duration is best and safest.
