I usually do an hour of cardio a day (plus weights at home or at gym), but when I can't, I do a hardcore Crossfit-type set of intervals and it does a lot of good.
Caution: People need to gradually adapt to hardcore interval work. Still.
I’m retired but I am up at 5am to make coffee and head 30 minutes to the Gym for PT for my back, weights and cardio. My BP at the Drs yestersay was 120/60.
