Turn whatever you're watching into your interval cues. I've got a friend who does intervals while watching hockey games, and uses puck location relative to his team's blue line. You can make up similar stuff for pretty much any sport you're watching.
I watch horror and action movies: Car chase, gun fight, helicopter sequence, etc. is sprint time. Boring dialogue is recovery time. Bad guy killing somebody in a horror flick is sprint time, bad guy stalking somebody to kill is moderate uptempo, boring dialogue/no bad guy on screen is recovery time.
