5 mins of warm up and cool down at 4 mph and then intervals of 90 secs at 5 mph and 30 secs at 6.5 mph.

Do I need to up the 6.5 mph or go lower then 5 mph for my downtime? I could probably get up to 7 mph at this point in time. I've always been one to think that I NEED to get in a good 45-60 min cardio workout to get benefits but even in the past I've stalled out because it's just impossible to keep up a good intensity for that long. I'd much rather workout harder but in less time. Right now I'm not doing much strength training, but I'd like to supplement the HIIT with yoga.

Just looking to see what kind of success anybody has had out there with HIIT and to see if I'm even on the right track with it.
