DISCLAIMER:
The intention behind the creation of this app was to provide a real life metric of the workout intensity while doing HIIT with weights at the Gym. A HIIT example workout of this kind may consist of 5 dumbell and/or body-weight exercices executed on after the other in 3 sets, having 2 minutes rest periods between each set.
LIMITATIONS:
The use of an External Ant+ HR Monitor is recommended while doing exercises that engage too much wrist movement, like weight-lifting and gym machines. The accuracy of wrist-worn HR Monitors is limited during this activities. Other than the Garmin IQ Device Simulator, InstaHiiT was tested on the Garmin VivoActive 3 connected to an Scosche Armband HR Monitor.
