Mixed cardio is a general, mixed bag cardio workout, using multiple machines. HIIT is a specific high intensity workout.
A bit more on HIIT:
High intensity interval training (HIIT)
Choose HIIT for cycles of intense exercise, followed by shorter periods of rest or recovery. For example, you might jump rope for 45 seconds, rest for 30 seconds, then repeat.
Some of the irregular movements in HIIT workouts might prevent a heart rate measurement. If heart rate isn't available, calories are still tracked using the built-in accelerometer. If you're not able to get a consistent heart rate during HIIT workouts, you can connect your Apple Watch to a Bluetooth chest strap.
