Ok I want to add HIIT running sessions(burn some extra calories); one on Tuesday and Thursday, and one or two on Saturday.

But I'm not sure what interval lengths, rest length, number of intervals to do. In Muscle Revolution, the intervals start at 15sec work/90sec rest, but on this forum i mostly see people doing 30/60, 60/90, 60/120 etc, doing 4-6 intervals. I've also seen in the Guerrilla cardio program using 20/10 work/rest intervals.

So, what work/rest interval should I use, and what's the difference between difference ones?

Thanks,
