How can I track a HIIT workout on my Garmin 245? Also how can I track Cross Country Skiing?

How can I track a HIIT workout on my Garmin 245? Also how can I track Cross Country Skiing? Thanks

  • Depending on what you are doing, has a lot to do with this answer. One of the reasons none of our devices currently have a HIIT profile is because HIIT just stands for High Intensity Interval Training. You can do a HIIt workout by doing 400 M sprints, (run profile) 30 second max effort cycling sprints (bike profile) Max effort 50 yard/meter sprints in the pool. All of these are examples of HIIT workouts. What is commonly thought of as HIIT is better stated as cross fit, or circuit training. There are two profiles you could realistically use to record these types of activities each with their own pros and cons. 

    • First is the strength profile.
      • Pros
        • Edit rep totals at the conclusion of the set
        • Record rest time vs workout time
        • add weight to the activity
      • Cons
        • Edit activity rep can take 5-10 seconds when you are tired if you are in a class you might not have that kind of time between sets
    • The other option would be the cardio profile
      • Pros 
        • One button and go. To start, you start the timer, then you press the lap button whenever you complete the exercise press the bottom right button. 
      • Cons
        • No rep counting
        • Rest time is recorded as workout time
        • No adding weight to the activity.
  • Is HiiT mode for 245 on the developer roadmap?
