I did HIIT on the treadmill this morning, and sometimes it took me about 50-60 seconds of the rest time just to get down to that lower heart rate. Might be a stupid question, but maybe somebody can indulge me.
It's not a stupid question at all. You don't have to maintain the lower heart rate. You're ready to go again as soon as your heart rate slows.

Yeah. It was fun. He always calls me outside to help whenever he's going to be swinging the sledgehammer, because he knows I like to do it.
