HIIT Cardio
Interval Cardio is an extremely energetic sports mix for HIIT (high-intensity interval training): a base of 94 bpm Drum A (fast, brisk), with syncopated taiko, stadium crowd and city noise on top. Sprint intervals, Tabata, CrossFit WOD; an image of contemporary intense physical culture.
HIIT is one of the most effective training formats. Gibala and colleagues (Journal of Physiology, 2012) documented that seven minutes alternating sprints and rest give the same cardio effect as 60 minutes of steady-state aerobics. HIIT is psychologically very hard, however; it requires pushing past the comfort zone. Musical accompaniment at a fast tempo eases this critically: Karageorghis (2017) showed that synchronisation with fast music reduces perceived fatigue by 18% for the same physical effort.
Use this mix for HIIT workouts (8 to 20 minutes), for Tabata (4-minute max), for interval running, for CrossFit WODs, for boxing and martial arts, for intense cardio sessions (stepper, elliptical, exercise bike), or for those working on fat burning. Session length: 8 to 30 minutes. Pairs with Workout (strength analogue), Morning Run (moderate variant) or Sports Bar (context). Not for long sessions; it exhausts. Not for elderly people or those with cardiovascular disease without a doctor's advice.
