Dunno, haven't go to the gym before, I know there's a gym there coz my friend trains there. At the ground floor facing the market car park you can see there a blue colour logo of a stick man doing overhead shoulder presses. Just drive one round around that building you'll see it one.

no prob, can hav a look at this also

sumbdy posted it b4, read ady but haven giv it a try

let me go through it and see if its workable or not~~

the thing i dont understand with HIIT is how to constantly change the speed of the treadmill every 15-20secs..wont u look stupid going "tit,tit,tit" every so often and its a hassle anyways..any ideas or am i just noob at using a treadmill..

what a complexes workout they have...

tmrw lets try this out, see how far can i go:

Here's one of the most effective Cosgrovian complexes:

Deadlift
Romanian Deadlift
Bentover Row
Power Clean
Front Squat
Push Press
Back Squat
Good Morning

looks promising since all the combo is compound workout

HIIT should go w/o threadmill... try it out, u will get different feeling

there's plenty of program built in the threadmill one...

maybe you use that.

yeap... lets see how.

thanks for the recommended site, very useful

but dunno if i can cope with it or not..

it depend on the treadmill, some treadmill you can just set the feature..

Easiest way is to use the cardio function if you have it on the machine,set to between 150 and 160 for example and it will always maintain a difficulty level to keep you in the range.

I've been doing HIIT on the crosstrainer actually.

Haha Don't worry about how you'll look in that 30 mins. Think aboiut how you'll look after 30 days of HIIT

This is a inane rant post:

That's not the stupidest thing.
What happened to me when I did HIIT on a threadmill was that I was trying to press the buttons while running at full speed for the machine to slow down, then the machine decelerated rapidly, causing me to lose my footing, and me crashing to the floor behind, making a loud kabloom bing bang in the gym.

I gave the threadmill a kick, and never use threadmills again.
And running on threadmills doesn't activate the glute when running. And since there's no need to continuously drive the body forward (there's no forward momentum on a threadmill), it's basically a screwed up exercise. Better go do cycling or crosstrainer or step machine etc...

Threadmills should only be confined to laboratories for scientists to run tests.
Best is to run barefoot on green grass. Oh the freedom!

haha.so what u guys saying are treadmills are a no no for HIIT..got it..but if i do wanna incoporate HIIT into my workout at the gym how is it possible then? cycling using the HIIT method possibly?

No lah, of course you can use it. Just that I personally hate the machine. That's why I rant about it.
Traumatised by my n00b attempt at HIIT-ing on the threadmill.

Cycling also can HIIT what. 1 minute all out, 1 minute normal pace. Or the Concept2 rowing machine also can. Just use different resistance and row at different speed. Etc....
Pandai-pandailah figure it out. =)

Actually HIIT can be applied to almost any sport,for Ex swimming,running,rope skipping,sprinting........etc

any idea on how to straight up back...coz my back a bit "bengkok"..

maybe deadlift can help??

this is what i heard from a trainer at gym.

anyone doing 5 x 5?

I do 5x5 for compound exercises and maybe throw in some 10x3's as well for the pump.

One thing I dislike about the 5x5 is the lack of pump. You?

I tried 5x5 and got bored of it too.

You want pump go for GVT 10x10 or Gironda's 8x8 but later maybe you bored bcoz lack of exercises pulak. lol
