OP: HIIT is easy. To keep it simple, do 30 seconds sprint, 30 seconds light jog or walk. Repeat. Start with 4 intervals at a minimum, add 1 per week until you get to 15.
Be sure to properly warm up. Start with AT LEAST a 5-minute jog, or else your blood pressure will go through the roof and you'll make yourself sick.
Finally, if you can go longer than 4 minutes at first, go for it. Personally, I do HIIT until I start to get sick, which takes 8 intervals (been doing HIIT for a month now). Then I take an interval off and go for a walk for a minute or two, then I finish up with 4 more intervals. This is acceptable. If you're getting sick and you need to take a bit of time off in order to do even more intervals, then do so.
You WILL get sick from doing this. That's the point. Hope you like pain. Enjoy.
