HIT Advice

[anonymous-user]

Hi Guys,

I want to add some form of CV activity to my workout. I train my top half M,W, F and my legs Tues and Thursday.

At the moment I finish the leg days with HIT on the rower (I have bad knees that will not handle running) - 20 secs/10 seconds and repeat 8 times.

The Q is - how often is good for HIT? Is twice a week good or should I do it more?

Thanks!

HIT or HIIT?

Oh, 20/10... HIIT then. It's good for your CV system. Apparently, 2-3 times a week should be enough because you need to recover. If you find you can do it everyday, then you're probably not going hard enough.

Edit: really need to read posts slowly and with a finger.

Cheers Hoofy. I'll start with 2 days as it's about all I think I can do right now with the intensity

I meant HIIT but so I hear so many people just say HIT.

Cheers Davey!

We don't have Concept rowers at the gym so I just have to set the timer and work it manually.

I'm 51, fit but still 51, so I think a lengthy HIIT session like yours would finish me

No worries. The principles are the same so you can do them on any rower.

Oh and you dont need to have / use a Concept 2 to get the daily workouts. Just sign up.

Thanks for that. I've been on thee before when I was a member of a gym that did have C2 rowers but had forgotten..... all good stuff.
