Shawn Phillips HIIT and Run

Description

This cardio program is an 8 week aerobic plan that never goes over 15 minutes per session. Some of you may know it as “High-Intensity Interval Training”. Make no mistake, it is not easy. Shawn Phillips of EAS and Muscle Media fame has an article outlining the program here: http://musclemedia.com/training/hiit.asp With this program you can still make gains in muscle while burning the fat off quicker than just cardio for hours. I know, I have done this before and it does work and doesn’t take a whole hour to do. One thing he doesn’t mention is stretching. Please, do not forget to stretch before starting a session. Actually you may even spend more time stretching than you will doing the actual exercise! I use a treadmill for this program because of convenience however, you may choose to run or bike or stair step you way through it, the concept is the same. The schedule or "routine" for the program is found on Muscle Media’s website here: http://musclemedia.com/training/hiit_table.asp
