I pick this up on science daily today, an article about a new study showing that brief, but intense exercise is equally good for heart health as low/moderate intensity exercise of 45+ minutes.
From the article
The research compared individuals who completed interval training using 30-second "all-out" sprints three days a week to a group who completed between 40 and 60 minutes of moderate-intensity cycling five days a week.
It found that six weeks of intense sprint interval exercise training improves the structure and function of arteries as much as traditional and longer endurance exercise with larger time commitment.
