I love Cathe's Hiit workouts. The STS Hiit and the two new ones with the tabata's and Hiit's are so awesome. I do like the Breathless Body ones by Amy Dixon, however on the BB2 I have to modify a few of the exercises as they just feel like an injury waiting to happen for me. I think Afterburn is actually considered a Hiit workout, too. I also consider Cathe's Plyo legs workouts from STS to be sort of Hiit-ish. I have disc 26 on tap for tomorrow.
Another good one is Tabata inferno from S90, although I always forget I have that one and don't use it too often . I just got the Delta Fit set but haven't done those workouts yet. I believe he has some Hiit type workouts in that set, too but I don't know if they will be a favorite yet. I'd say Cathe's CrossFire and To the Max are the ones I'm using the most right now. I am in love! ETA: As far as changes, I definitely have lost more body fat this year, although I also attribute that to weight training and metabolic workouts as well as Hiit. I think combining those have made all the difference. Oh, and Horizontal Conditioning, too has changed my body a lot so I've developed a huge appreciation for body weight exercise. HC did great things for my core, but also my glutes seem even firmer than before.

Another Thumbs Up for Results of HIIT!!
I LOVE HIIT training!! I do Breathless Body and To the Max regularly, in addition to workouts like Lean Hot Body, Ultimate Cardio Body and Kickbox Surge, and I have definitely seen a leaner look since I picked up HIIT and Tabata. I know I have focused more on my diet as well, so the two really go hand in hand for results!
Just wanted to cast another vote in favor of HIIT. |

Short answer--yes! I was doing CLX and only the included cardio at first. It wasn't quite II enough for me. So then I switched to Cathe's HIIT and Breathless Body, which really made a difference.
Now I'm part of an R&D group for a new workout set from Lindsay Brin. I'm nearing the end of the first phase (3 weeks long) which is mostly HIIT and Tabata. I thought I'd lose strength, but there seems to be just enough weighted and unweighted work to keep that from happening. I've lost a couple of pounds and am leaning out all over. I have more muscle on my legs and my arms. So now I feel like maybe pure HIIT is the key for me. Short, intense workouts were apparently what I needed to get the last couple of pounds of baby weight off.
