When doing HIIT do you also increase your resistance while in "Sprint" mode? I had been doing the interval setting on the Elliptical at the gym and it did this for you. I now have one at home and it does not have this setting. I was just curious if you keep your resistance the same or increase it while in "sprint" mode.

I've done it both ways with little to no difference in results. I wouldn't stress over it if your new machine doesn't automatically do it for you.

Cool thanks for the reply. I will just up my RPM and for the Interval.

One comment. What I would try and do is increase the resistance every couple workouts so that you are continually working harder and harder during the sessions.
