How to do high intensity interval training on the elliptical?
xoxmissjxox asked:
I’m curious about how to do HIIT on the elliptical machine. On the treadmill, I up the speed for 30 seconds, than brisk walk for a minute. I have ankle problems so running is a little too high impact for me. How do you do HIIT on the elliptical? Do you just go really fast for 30 seconds, or do you up the resistance for 30 seconds and try to go as fast as u can?

You can up the speed or the difficulty, either way your body will have to work harder for that designated time period. I tend to favor uping the level of difficulty during HIIT.
