I'd just pace yourself on the treadmill. I don't think you'd see a much in the Hiit cardio. Just my 2centsBlood&Iron

I just started HIIT cardio. Previously, I did 30min. walking at 3.5mph on a treadmill set at a 15 degree incline. I'm horribly out of cardiovascular shape so I can't take much. Right now it's:
2min warm-up
20s as fast as possible
10s slow
20s as fast as possible
10s slow
20s as fast as possible
30s slow
20s as fast as possible
30s slow
20s as fast as possible
30s slow
20s as fast as possible
2 min cooldown
Generally, it seems to work best on a stationary bike. Experiment. I've only done 3 sessions so far, so am I am certainly not an expert. I based my routine on one of the studies done, which used 6 20s sprinting intervals, with 10s resting periods and adjusted it for my own pathetic cardiovascular capacity. Do more intervals if you're capable.
