    Hi al, I have been doing HIIT for the past few days and I am impressed.

    My routine is as follows:

    30mins-Treadmill-40seconds fast/20seconds do nothing ( ie jump off treadmill and stand feet apart from treadmill )

    10mins-Crosstrainer

    10mins-Treadmill-40seconds fast/20seconds do nothing ( ie jump off treadmill and stand feet apart from treadmill )

    Now my question is, my feet in particular my heels are killing me the morning after, what am I doing wrong?

    If you are using HIIT as a weight loss method, dont forget to pay attention to your diet, that accounts for 80% of all weight loss..

    if you are using it as a training method for running, make sure to incorporate tempo running and long slow runs as well. Ideally HIIT should be done no more than twice a week.

    As for the HIIT routine you have outlined..
    It sounds like you are over-training.. try warming up first for 2 mins, doing 1min fast and 1 min slow for 20 mins,
    then do 20 mins steady state (non HIIT) on crosstrainer.
    to increase the difficulty gradually, increase the fast speed incrementally, or increase the fast time length.
    You should only be doing HIIT 1-2 times/week
    Also, ensure that you cool down adequately to prevent injury.

    hope that helps,
