Learn more about HIIT workouts

High-intensity interval training (HIIT) workouts involve short bursts of intense exercise followed by recovery periods. During those intense intervals, reaching around 80 percent of your age-targeted maximum heart rate is key. Tabata workouts are a type of HIIT workout that follows a two-to-one effort-to-recovery ratio of 20 seconds on, 10 seconds off. Peloton offers HIIT classes, including Tabata cycling classes, for exercise bikes, treadmills, rowers, outdoor runs, and the mat. Some high-intensity cardio exercises featured in the top-rated mat classes are squat jumps, mountain climbers, burpees, high knees, and plank jacks. Instructors often provide modifications to avoid jumping, such as in this free high-intensity interval training workout with Logan Aldridge.

Find HIIT classes under the Intervals or HIIT class type filters in the cardio disciplines on the Peloton App or on your Peloton equipment.
