My HIIT workout - Please advise if this is good.

Hello Fitness forum,

I have just registered in this forum.

I am a software guy.. hanging around with computers all day. Realized that i have been putting on some weight.. then hit the gym 3 months back. I was weighing 90kgs but right now im 76.5. Combined steady state cardio and medium intensity cardio along with some weight training. Feeling very good now. But i still have the hard fat around the belly. I do not have a specific diet plan, basically i am an indian having typical indian diet.

I have been hitting HIIT since couple of weeks. doing 3-4 times a week alternate days. I have stopped lifting weights, currently my days are too busy . working out 30 mins which includes only HIIT for 20-25 min.the next day i take rest.(one day hiit and one day rest- no weights)

herez my program on threadmill

2 min walk
2 min brisk walk inclined 12 speed 6 km/hr
2 min running - 12 incline and 12 km/hr - i feel totally exhausted.. heartrate thumping heavily


I continue the above intervals for 20-25 mins which yield 6 repetetions of hitting max speed.

AM I doing it right... the workout is more like hill.. i have read articles that say hill training improves leg strength and burns more fat as effort is higher compared to others.

Please help me to know if i am doing it right..

I dont have too much experience with HIIT on a treadmill other than tabata style sprints, but everytime I hit a treadmill I make sure the incline is up. I usually use 12, 12.5, or 13. So I'd say you are doing it right with the incline, you could even incline your walk too.

Whats better for fat loss HIIT or regular cardio?
