I've known about Tabata since shortly after it was published in 1996 (IIRC) and have done daily cardio since the 1960's.
That said, there are a lot of people who don't know about some of the additional positive effects mentioned in this article. I thought they might be interested.
I have been trying to get my bad cholesterol down and good up with HIIT and I go into the doctor for lab results on Thursday.
I hope I am making some headway because I don't want to take statins.
Oh, sorry I didn't mean to insinuate that your post was old news, what I meant is that for the "main stream", this is rather new. Kind of like how it took over 20 years for the high-carb/low fat diet to be discredited in the main stream press.
Thanks for posting this article, I have gotten quite fat and out of shape as of late, and this is the kind of thing that help me kick off a new fitness routine!
I have similar issues with LDL, let us know how your labs go!
My Chiropractor warned me about taking statins. He said it affects bone density, and right now my bone density is great.
I have refused Statins, and changed my MD, because of it. There are studies that say cholesterol has very little to do with heart attacks.
Individuals should have more control over what they take, as too many opinions vary in medical field. Research, Research, Research is best way to find out.
