Cardio on empty stomach - question

[Vortexx]

I believe T-mag had some nice articles about using weights for HIIT, including jumpsquats etc...

If you're doing HIIT that's something else...

Then you shouldn't be worrying about what your heart rate is, essentially.

ok, would this be a good workout if i were to try to follow his research.


1. warm up 10 min
2. do 20 second bouts (going how fast, how many rpm?)
3. take 10 second rest
repeat step 2 and 3, 9 times

Luto, from what I read on the website you'd go as fast as you can during the bursts....then slow back down until your heartrate returns to your warm-up heart rate....then repeat.

My heart-rate while jogging would be around 130 and I imagine the bursts would be up in the 170's for those few seconds. I'm going to try that out at the gym tonight. I'd much rather do 20 min. cardio than longer sessions.
