Guys let me clarify something here so that I don't get killed too much more. The HIIT to which I refer is not what you are thinking. I may have the terminology wrong but it is what is used at the training gym where I work. Beginners get an intro to this form of cardio in the following manner....

5 min at RPE of very easy to easy,
5 min at RPE of somewhat hard (take 2 min to get there spend 1 min in the zone and 2 min to come back down)

So bascially it is ss cardio with some introductory Interval concepts.

I drive over an hour to work at this gym. I had 4 different offers on my plate and one of them was from a gym less than 1 mile from my work. The sports therapy gym where I chose to work has a pretty good head trainer (degree, head of pro-baseball team, etc), lots of continuing education options for me and the head trainer keeps a very close eye on his newbies (why I am there). Net is I don't think I am going to hurt anyone with gross mistakes. In hindsight I probably should have just waited until I worked again and talked to him about this. I really was just looking for a medicine reference site and thought it would be a binary.

I do not intend to ignore his HR and I do not have TV so no Biggest Loser influence here. So Leigh, would you have this person consult their Dr on this specific medicine or not?

Thanks Julie I have not yet done this but I can do it no problem. I have only seen him one time so far and will not see him again until next week.
