HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) is a great way to do cardio, however it is fairly controversial in the fitness world. Some think that HIIT is just a fad. However, many experts believe that HIIT is the best way to leverage the thermogenic effect of buring calories. Which is the best way to get the six-pack abs! HIIT is the cardio method used for Huge In A Hurry.

HIAH HIIT is split into 15 seconds/45 seconds intervals. You do a activity all out for 15 seconds and then rest for 45 seconds. This is done after the lifting portion of workout. There are hundreds of exercises that you can do for HIIT. Below is a list of the ones that I have done that I enjoy:

• Jump Rope
• Sprint in place
• Bodyweight Prisoner Squats
• Squat Thrusts
• Jumping Jacks

You can also do intervals on a treadmill, a stationary bike. You can use kettlebells etc. There are hundreds of exercises that can be done to achieve the results. The key, as always, is to do it!!

For this very reason, I am beginning a new workout program: “Huge In A Hurry”. This program is created by Chad Waterbury of T-nation.com and Men’s Health fame. This program has been created with a ton of science behind it, which really all makes sense. The program is well-defined and guided; not a “do this type of exercise” program. This program is gym-based, not home-based like P90X. So, unless you have an awesome hme gym, you will probably need to drag your butt to the gym! This program also has a meal/nutrition plan, although its not as detailed as the P90X plan. I might continue on the P90X eating program

I am beginning this program on Monday 9/14/09 and I look forward to updating this site as I progress. I am going into this knowing that I will hit a wall and will be going back to P90X. I plan to go back and forth as necessary.
