Need to get in shape fast?? Suggestions

Hey guys I haven't been to class in about 4 months. I've gotten pretty out of shape (busy with work) I'm heading back to class on Thursday of next week for no gi. So, I only have about 5 days to try to build up enough cardio so I'm not a complete gassed out waste of mat space when I get in there.

Anyone have any good suggestions for getting my gas tank in better condition that quick?

I was thinking about probably just trying to do some HIIT on an Elypticle and then just 3mile runs once or twice a day for the next few days.

I have a 24 hour fitness I'm a member at I can make it in there once or twice a day usually for an hour or so.

opinions?

You aren't going to produce noticeable aerobic adaptions in a week, no matter what you try. Do some runs and get your body used to exercise again, but there's no need to do two-a-days in the hope of getting in better shape.

When you do go back to class, focus on relaxing and breathing while you roll, rather than trying to muscle your way in and out of things.

There is no majical workout to get into shape. Just hard work and consistance, it took time to get out of shape and it will take time to get into shape. Good luck
