AFTERBURN  
HIIT  Cardio  -­‐‑   Overview
The  higher  your  cardio  fitness  level  the  quicker  your  HR  will  drop  during  recovery  
intervals.  This  is  a  great  way  to  measure  your  cardio  improvement  progress  as  you  
continue  with  this  training.  
For  example,  for  your  first  few  HIIT  cardio  sessions,  it  may  take  you  3  minutes  to  
bring  your  HR  back  down  to  60%  of  MHR.   A s  you  progress  and  increase  your  cardio  
fitness  levels  it  will  eventually  take  you  2  minutes  to  properly  recover  and  then  1  
minute.
 
Most  cardio  equipment  has  a  heart  rate  monitor  built  in  to  the  handgrips.  If  your  
equipment  does  not  include  this  built  in  feature  you  can  buy  a  HR  monitor  watch.  
This  watch  will  show  you  exactly  where  your  heart  rate  is  so  you  can  properly  stay  
within  the  proper  HR  zone  and  increase/decrease  intensity  as  needed.
