I was a fitness trainer for ten years (just gave up my certification last May), and I have heard good things about this. Haven’t read the article you posted yet, but from the little I see, this works. You have to make sure you are in good heart health shape, however. Tabata I think it’s called.

I don’t need to get fit this week. Screaming at the TV has given me quite a workout.

Interesting.

Bkmrk.

BTW, this was published in 2015.

agreed, I like the very short Tabata sequences, which are high intensity for 20 seconds, 10 seconds of recovery. Youtube has various under 5 minute Tabata sequences. ( This does not include warm up and cool down.) Very doable at least 3 times a week, particularly if you’re short on time.

I am 65 years old, and have been doing interval training for about 6 months. I do about five 3-minute intervals, with heart rate between 135 and 150.

I do feel much better, but I’m still too old!

Already there, baby.

I’m going to sprint to the liquor store.

I did something similar a few months ago. The SHIIT workout. :) Super high intensity integral training. I did see good results and noticed quick improvement in how I felt. The problem was I was doing it on a treadmill and began to have ankle and knee pain. I think because I wasn’t warming up enough, which they strongly warned about.

I am planning to start it back this week but dial back the intensity. I was walking for a minute, sprinting for 30 seconds, walking, sprinting. For about 20 to 25 minutes. And taking longer to warm up.

If you don’t spend 20 minutes warming up before you spend 6 minutes sprinting you will spend 30 days with a pulled hamstring.

Or, at my age...how to have a heart attack in 6 minutes.

Just kidding. I’ve bookmarked and will study the video. Thanks.

[Falconspeed]

Thanks for the video. Interesting. 4:17: "You will come to a point where the body cannot use anymore oxygen." That is the VO2 Max. Long and dramatic video could have been three minutes long. Let's cut to the chase. Get a mask for $30

The book “Younger Next Year” takes it further, into 45 minutes to an hour high intensity two days, low intensity two days and strength training two days, weekly. I’m 73 and feel better than when I was 50. I ride a bike about 100 miles per week and still work full time. Follow the book. Best thing I ever did. I’ve been “at it” for over 3 years now. Never going back!

Maybe.

I watched the video. Very informative and helpful. I’m starting high intensity interval training today!
