Good job most of us EXERCISE 
Do you Eric, then you maybe should post here.http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...
I understand how the 3-minute intense training can improve his body's ability to process sugar better etc. But will that actually lead to a loss of weight or just improve his fitness.
As I understand it, you can still be fit and a tad tubby?
I'm trying to lose the middle age spread myself at the moment, just by improving my diet and doing a little exercise (3 x 30 minutes) and it seems to be working. I just don't think that manic 3 x 1 minute exercise would achieve the same result.

HIIT works, but only if you do it right. It is intense and most people don't push themselves.
LSD also works, clearly.

I've done different versions, 1-2 ratio, 1-1 ratio. Some people in the training thread use tabata method.

Haven't seen the programme, will try and catch the repeat.

Fascinating stuff from the viewpoint that they can tell your fitness potential. I could see countries testing people to see if they have the potential to be top atheletes.
Not sure about the 20 sec x 3 training in my suit though!
Of course, there are far more potential top athletes than there are top athletes - most people don't have the single-mindedness and the mental strength to do the training required to be a top athlete.Not sure about the 20 sec x 3 training in my suit though!
Interesting - Although I thought the results showing that his aerobic fitness had not really improved seemed somewhat predictable; whilst there seems to be evidence showing the benefits of HIT vis insulin sensitivity, I can't see how such training at 30 second bursts would have a huge impact on aerobic fitness. The point of such 3 minute training seemed to be an improvement in health for the least expenditure of time, and it's hard to argue that 3 minutes of exercise per week having a noticeable effect upon insulin sensitivity doesn't achieve such a goal. This said, to then by apparent causation equate a non-improvement in aerobic performance by using a rather extreme version of HIT with some 'genetic non-responder marker' seemed a bit convenient, perhaps? I found much of the program quite interesting but this point was something I'm not sure I entirely agreed with.
