What is the deal with HIIT workouts

I can make HIIT workouts on the app but can't upload them to my watch. Why can't Venu do HIIT workouts when they are the exact same as strength? Why does it allow me to create workouts I can't even use? Terrible design....

Yeah you would think when you go to create a workout, it should know what your device can and cannot accept since Connect knows what device you have.

Just FYI this shows all the workouts and what devices can accept them. It is quite annoying that a Venu 2 can do HIIT and they won’t bring it to the Venu also.

Totally agree. Created several HIIT workouts on my Connect platform (both web and phone) only to discover they were "incompatible" with the Venu (orig) when I tried to load them. In the end I created the same workouts in "Strength" and named them "HIIT - xxxx" and they work just fine.

But was a frustrating user experience until that point.I use the "Cardio" category for other kinds of workouts that can't be put under Martial Arts. Go figure.

BTW, to see my workouts in my preferred order on the Venu, I've named them "1-HIIT xxx" "2-HIIT xxx" etc. They show at the top of the list in the order I numbered them.
