How often should I do HITT?

hedens123 Posts: 1 Joined: 2009/07/09	2009/07/13, 07:35 PM I have 2 kids and dont have a lot of time to work out. I am doing the strength training provided by the website and also HITT before doing the strength stuff. Is it okay to use HITT as my main source of Cardio? How often should I be doing HITT and/or cardio? I want to lose 40 pounds. Any advice or suggestions???

Good luck reaching your goal and watch the diet. -------------- Patience, persistence and perspiration make an unbeatable combination for success. Ivan (GO HABS GO!)

There will be a 12 hour gap between the morning cardio and evening weights. Would this be ok Monday-Friday? I have quite a bit of fat to lose. I'm 6'1, 220 lbs.
