    HRM will significantly over-inflate calorie estimates for intervals - your HR is elevated during the recovery phases.

    This. HRMs aren't even close to accurate on HIIT workouts.

    Why do you say that? My chest HRM gives the most accurate reading I could get without entering a laboratory, and it changes almost instantaneous according to my activity. I would therefore imagine that calorie burn would change accordingly?

    Here's a HRM extract from a treadmill workout I did last night - seems pretty aligned to cadence to me:

    The only reason I do HIIT (apart from the fitness benefits) is to mix things up a little and not get bored B)

    I use a Wahoo TickrX HRM along with their 7 Minute HIIT Workout and seem to get great results. I think it's 12 different exercises for 30 secs each with a little rest in between. Here's a pic of my graph. I did 2 sets split by the blue line.

    I love the HIIT workouts in the TurboFire program. I don't do any of the other DVDs, just the HIITs :D They kick my butt

    I go to orangetheory fitness center that uses HIIT.It is a great place to work out since all classes are lead by a coach, heart rate is monitored by wearing a heart monitor, and it is one hour in and out. The first class is free.
