Doesn't matter. Just do HIIT for one round and then 30 minutes of regular long-form cardio.

Another day do HIIT for 3 rounds and 15 minutes of cardio.

The on another day you could do regular interval training -- basically make up your own timed intervals of moderate intensity. 2 minutes run, 1 Minute jog, etc.

Sometimes I do a HIIT round after lifting weights. My workout plan is to not have a plan, and never do the same thing from week to week.

yeah, that's where i'm trying to take mine, got the eating part sorted out now and don't have to fuss about anything unless i am trying to shed the last few flab pounds, which i'll try to knock off soon.

and i would like the same with the workouts, still seeing what works, what's needed, what's not, what not. at this point, i'm thinking i'll steer towards working on strength- heart, lungs, muskles.

the russian strength coach, Pavel, whose books i've read advocates strength workouts every day, just a couple hard core sets of this or that, mostly compound exercises.
i don't like spending a shit ton of time working out, but have no probs blasting out a quick workout 5-6 days a week if it's 10 minutes- 5 minutes heavy duty 2-3x5 bench press + 5 minutes HIIT burpees sounds like a baddass routine. exchange the bench with deadlifts and weighted chin ups etc, might only have to do the burpees every other day.

Try burpees also. But with your knee problem that might be an issue. I have a right knee nagging injury, and I do a lot of eliptical and rowing. Low impact and gets the job done. You can "Tabata" those also.

I tried this the other day, and had to lay down gasping for air for about 5 minutes.

I tried these today FUUUUUUUUCK hahaha, that was intense. I was able to do 4 - 30 second sets but almost died after the last one. I like them though, if my arms don't fall off, I'll try them again on Saturday hehehe

the booze would throw it off the worst and that was only a weekend occurance (that would have a ripple effect for 2 or 3 more days). South Beach is an awesome diet and basically what I had posted for food...small portions eaten often that include lean meats, fresh veggies and fruits and lots of water. don't go too heavy on the fruits at first because of the sugar but later, the fruit will help keep your system functioning healthy. add in movement you didnt have before outside of the gym... i added dancing it out at lunchtime to tech mixes and an extra walk each evening. the little extra really helped. if you dont already, just add in one more stroll for the baby at a certain time of day you can commit to, he will love it too. set a reasonble goal so you dont get frustrated and throw in the towel..give yourself 5 weeks and be stoked when it happens faster

I like it, I was gonna give myself 4-6 weeks depending on how well I'm adjusting to the diet. This weekend only having one drink day because it's a friend's birthday but will try to keep it light and skip the beer hehe. I do need to work in another couple of days of light exercise, totally agree with that. Especially with our jobs, we spend way too much time on our ass, gotta work something in daily.
