The HIIT workout that I use is a six week schedule. It starts out with thirty seconds of sprinting then thirty seconds jogging and so on for 4 minutes. Sounds easy, but it's not. Then every other workout you add a minute. I'm supposed to do this schedule once every three months but I have been slacking. Getting back into my work out schedule is part of my new year's resolutions but since it is winter I don't know if I'll be doing the HIIT thing right away (I like to do it outside and it's very very cold outside).
HIIT is great cardio, but by doing it for six weeks every couple months and doing long distance running for the rest of the time, I think I optimize the workout. Then of course I (am supposed to) do weight training all the time.
