    You can try this basic approach.....

    - warm up for five minutes
    - One Round: Do 1 minute as hard as you can ( on a scale of 1-10....shoot for a level 9 or 10 ). Then recover at a moderate pace (a level 6-7 intensity) for 2 minutes. So, ' One Round ' is 3 minutes long.
    - Cool down for five minutes.

    Perform 6 Rounds....the total cardio time workout including warm up and cool down should be around 30 minutes or so
