HIIT Cardio – “Sprints” (Beginner)
For a beginner HIIT “sprinting” program, start with 30 sec of higher intensity work
(could be a run or just a jog). It depends on your fitness level.
Find out what intensity elevates your HR to 75-‐‑ 8 5% of your MHR and stick with it.
If 10 intervals is too difficult. Start with 5 and build your way up to 10.
Take as long of a rest period as possible to allow your HR to reach 65% of MHR.
Start with a 4 min warm up then move into interval 1.
After interval 10, allow for a 4 min cool down.
