Introduction
Mixed cardio is a apple watch Workout type that launched with watchOS 7. It’s designed to give you credit for any combination of high- and low-intensity cardio workouts that you do during a single session.
For example, if start with a moderate walk, then pick up the pace to a jog, and finish with a sprint, apple watch will automatically credit you with a mixed cardio workout. Or, if you go for a bike ride where you alternated between periods of intense pedaling and leisurely pedaling, apple watch would also consider that to be mixed cardio.
