(More customer reviews)Cathe F. is one of my favorite video instructors, and these three HIIT workouts are among the hardest workouts she has put out.HIIT workouts are designed to give you an amazing cardio workout, without catabolizing (eating away) your muscle.Don't let the shortness of these HIIT workouts (or of any HIIT workouts) fool you:these are VERY tough!
According to Cathe's website, the 30/30 workout (30 seconds of work, 30 seconds of rest) is the easiest, the Double Wave Pyramid (interval lengths build up in time, and then build back down) is the middle one, and the 40/20 (40 seconds of work, 20 seconds of rest) workout is the hardest.I definitely agree!While the 30/30 and Double Pyramid weren't crazy, I thought I was going to die when I did the 40/20 workout for the first time!
Two of the three workouts on this disk also require a step bench, along with extra risers (for a total of four on each side).While you can probably modify the workout if you don't have a step bench, you'll definitely get more out of the workouts if you have a step.
I have a tendency towards tendonitis in one of my knees, and, so far, these workouts have not aggravated it.If you have bad knees, though, you might want to preview the workouts on-line since they do require a lot of plyometric jumping.
Another nice feature is that there is a countdown clock for each workout, so you know exactly how much time is left in each work and rest segment.Somehow, it makes it more bearable if you know how many seconds are left in the work sections!Each workout comes in at just under 30 minutes, including a warm-up and cool down stretch.
In my opinion, these are the hardest workouts in Cathe's new STS Cardio series.They are GREAT!

Product Description:
HiiT stands for High Intensity Interval training and is hands down one of the best ways to burn fat without causing your body to catabolize your own muscle tissue.HiiT features three different high intensity routines that are all right around 30 minutes or less making these workouts perfect for you to use on days where you're short on time.The first HiiT workout is 30/30, and as the title suggests, each interval is divided into 30 second high energy, plyo reps, followed by an equal 30 second rest for a total of 16 tough intervals.The 2nd HiiT workout is 40/20 and you'll be doing 16 intervals. Each interval will be divided into 40 second high energy, plyo reps, followed by a 20 second rest. Three additional one minute breaks will be spread throughout the program.The 3rd HiiT workout is Double Wave Pyramid. In this workout you'll do two rounds of intervals separated by only a one minute rest. In each round, you'll follow a pyramid cycle of nine intervals, in which you'll start your first set with a 20 second interval, and work your way up to the top of the pyramid, increasing each interval by five seconds as you go. Then you'll work your way back down the pyramid decreasing each interval by five seconds.
