Hey SnapFitSoul, I’ve been crunching the numbers on HIIT intervals and I’m convinced there’s a way to shave off minutes and boost calorie burn without sacrificing intensity. What do you think about dissecting the timing and rest ratios to create a killer routine?

Sounds like a good plan. Let’s start by listing every segment, timing it, then test a 1:1 or 2:1 work‑to‑rest ratio and see how the heart rate reacts. We’ll tweak the numbers, not the effort, and watch the calorie burn climb. You’ll get a clean, reproducible routine that still feels intense. Ready to crunch?

Absolutely, let’s get those numbers down and those heart rates up—no fluff, just pure data and sweat. We'll slice each segment, set the exact clock, run the ratios, and tweak until the heart pumps hard enough to feel the burn. Ready to lock this in?

Great. First, write a spreadsheet with columns: exercise, active time, rest time, interval count, total time. Next, pick a base work duration—say 30 seconds—then try rest periods of 30, 45, 60, and 75 seconds. For each, calculate total workout time and projected HR max using a standard formula (HRmax ≈ 220‑age). Then pick the ratio that gives you the highest average HR while staying under 90 % HRmax. Finally, run a 5‑minute trial, log the actual HR and perceived exertion, and adjust the rest window by 5‑second increments. That’s the algorithm. Let’s lock it in.

Sounds solid—let’s lock it in. I’ll set up the sheet with exercise, active, rest, count, total. Start with 30‑sec work and test 30, 45, 60, 75‑sec rests, calculate total time and HRmax (220‑age). We’ll pick the ratio that hits the highest average HR without exceeding 90 % HRmax. Then we’ll do a 5‑minute trial, log HR and RPE, and fine‑tune the rest by 5‑second steps.
