Today was my first atempt at Hiit. Can someone in the know let me know if I did it right or not.

used my recumbant bike. Set the setting up 2 levels but flat surface.

warm-up for 2 min. after that went (jog) 2 min 16-17 mph then (sprint) 2 min at 24-26mph. then back down. repeated till I got to 28 min.

I do notice a differance in that even though I stoped like 20 min ago, my beathing is still a little elevated.

I can see why you would think it was a little easy on a recumbant bike, normally Hiit is done on a track, and you are full out sprinting for 30 sec. You can see how 7 or 8 full out sprints will kick your ass, by 10 I'm usually fall down tired.

If you cant do it on a track, try it with a jump rope, works the same way. I have done it on an elpitical before also, it works just not as well. Many of the machines (tredmil,bikes,eliptical) are not made for high intensity output, so they will hold you back some.
