“High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) is a form of cardiovascular exercise that alternates short bursts of intense activity with brief recovery periods.”

For most and especially seniors walking is the best exercise, a slight variation on this one.

[ComputerGuy]

I do that. I started it because I was only good for three minutes of power-walking at a time.

[IWONDR]

“ A later 2018 study by the same researchers found that over a ten-year period, those who did interval walking reported greater to age-related injuries and illnesses.” so, those who do this “interval” walking experienced “greater “ or more injuries and illnesses? So the Japanese interval walking is not what they are talking about at this point in the write up ?

[P.O.E.]

They should install wasp nests every 1000 yards along hiking trails.

That’ll do it.

Plus, we're addicted to getting most of our food from junk food/cardiovascular nightmare sources.

And, you simple minded fools. Stop smoking marijuana. You were stupid to begin with. That crap just makes you more stupid.

”No! No, no, not 6 minute abs! I said 7. Nobody's comin' up with 6. Who works out in 6 minutes? You won't even get your heart goin, not even a mouse on a wheel!”

[bray]

Half hour walk is the ideal length of time.

[PGR88]

[Lizavetta]

No, DON'T forget yoga, pilates and spin. All of this is good and healthful. But by all means incorporate walking into your fitness program.

Keep moving, people.
