That isn't HIIT what you are doing. High intensity is no less then 80% effort.

15 Minute jump rope HIIT
1 minute warmup
2 minute warmup at 60% effort
1 minute at 100% effort
1 minute at 60% effort
1 minute at 100% effort
1 minute at 60% effort
1 minute at 100% effort
1 minute at 60% effort
2 minutes at 100% effort
2 minute cool-down at 50-60% effort
2 minute cool-down walk
Please elaborate? Both your schedule and his seem to be viable HIIT plans from over here.

Oh, and the first time I did HIIT it hurt like freakin hell. I was down and out.. But it really a good feeling as well, like reaching the summit of the mountain after climbing for days (about 15 minutes in my case :P) Anyway, maybe thats what he meant by "nice"..
