When I first experienced hiit on the treadmill, I felt like I wanted to throw up. My body was burning all over as if I stepped out of a boiler room. I felt my heart beating I could actually hear it. I had to take a breather it took an hour for me to feel normal again. I did hiit twice two weeks ago, not sure if I am ready but I love the rush. I did this during the night hours and this workout disturbed my sleep and my heart still was racing. I never experienced this with regular cardio this kind of sensation so it must mean I am doing it right.


Basically I came up with this routine starting this Monday it's combined with weight training. All of this is done in the morning time before I head into work.

Monday- Upper Body Workout 1hr (shoulders, arms, upper back)

Tuesday- HIIT workout 20 mins on treadmill

Wednesday Lower Body Workout 1hr (calves, quads, thighs, abs)

Thursday- Thursday HIIT workout 20 mins

Friday- Upper Body workout

Saturday- HIIT

Sunday-Rest



I will switch equipment every week. Any advice on what to eat before and after if you are vegetarian? I eat a can of organic beans with Quinoa before my workout. After the workout I eat a salad. Should I eat protein after every single one of these workouts? Like eat a handful of almonds or a vegetarian omlete with egg whites only?

This is all starting in October how long would I see results will it be by December? BTW I am 5'5 167lbs 21 yrs old female

This resembles my workout. Been doing it for 2 months so far.
Mon - HITT (RUNNING ON THE TRACK) & Lift weights (Legs)
Tue - Steady state jogging & Lift weights (Chest/Arms)
Wed - HIIT & Lift weights (legs)
Thur - Steady state jogging (Hills) & Lift weights (Back/Arms)
Fri - HIIT & Lift weights (Legs)
Sat - REST
Sun - Steady state jogging & Lift weights (Chest Arms)

My routine is still not 100% yet. I'm still trying to figure out what works and what doesn't. Also, reading the stickies and other threads might help?
