HIIT For A Power Rider (Rowing Machine)

SpiritOfThings Posts: 58 Joined: 2007/01/18	2007/04/20, 04:38 PM I've been doing some research on the benefits of HIIT, and it sounds like that rowing machines go well with HIIT. Lo and behold, I found my old one (a basic Power Rider brand) so I tightened up the bolts and it's ready for action. How does one go about doing a good HIIT workout on a rowing machine? I've seen some suggest keeping track of your meters, but this has no way to measure any types of distances and speed. It's bare-bones. Any suggestions? Thanks for reading this.

My (possibly misinformed) suggestion would be 10 mins with 4 min warm up, then 40 seconds high effort, 20 seconds recovery cycled till the end. All depending on fitness of course.
