morning HIIT
 
i do hiit every morning on a stationary bike, with 1 minute intervals. Is doing 15-17 minutes balls to the wall better than doing 20-25, not quite as hard as i would've with 5 minutes cut off?

with HIIT you want to be as intense as possibley (high intensity interval training). Go as hard as possible, for the shorter duration of time.

if you go the other way with it, its isnt HIIT anymore.

alright sweet, thanx hrdgain, i'm thinking i'll keep doing about 16 minutes a morning on that, and work my way up to longer times. Thanx for the input

haha you know it man:hbang: on the high intensity portions of it i get my heartrate up to about 130-160 if thats good? im 16 years old. So idk if thats good or not. I wanna try and build up to 20min of hiit. But not for a while i sure

Once you reach that goal, I would work on upping the intensity and not the number of sprints you do. Or you will be running sprints for hours on end :thumbsdown:
