Default Re: combining HITT and starting strength
The reason for the elliptical is because I came to realize that tennis was not intense enough.

As I said, with the elliptical, I do 20-30 minutes of a pretty intense interval program, where I go as hard as I can manage for 2 minutes (alternating 2 minute "rest periods). (I do this because that's the preset program.) Some do not consider this to be HITT, but I feel sure that I am getting a lot out of it, with regard to weight control.

I could see shortening or modifying the use of the elliptical, or substituting a rowing machine at times, but I don't think it would be good for me to drop it altogether.
