HIIE - High Intensity Interval Exercise

Tabata's nice: 20sec work @ Max effort, 10 sec rest, 9 sets = 4.5 min of lung scorching exercise.

Then there was VO2Max - okay, it's not really Vo2max, but it had to have a title and it is effective.

Now from Char Kha comes HIIE:
  • 8 seconds work @ 100% effort
  • 12 seconds rest
  • 20 minutes in duration...
Up until that last bullet, this was sounding easier...

Work, in this case, equals:
  • Sprints
  • Kettlebell snatches w/ no lockout
  • High knee jumps
Close your browser, pick up the bell. All you need is the first 8 seconds.
