#2I hope this article gets some attention. I have felt a lot better from high intensity training. Much much better than half hour long slogs on the treadmill.
I really believe it is the best for general cardiovascular fitness.

5 rapid pushups and 30 seconds of plank followed by 5 squats. Tune to fit of course, but a really good micro exercise.

#4Great headline. Repeated bursts of ~6 seconds (aka interval training) is what they're talking about here, not 6 seconds total.

#5From my own experience, endurance and strength come from either faster reps, or more weighted reps. Essentially, if the power wattage output of your body is high, you'll benefit immensely.

#6I have heard lots of good about interval training. I remember Freakonomics podcast mentioning it being the most effective exercise versus time spent.

Yeah, pretty bad headline. You still need to work up a sweat, even with HIIT.

Still, the total they are talking about is two minutes per week.
I'm struggling with how they can draw a conclusion from n=12. It's something to do with the population variance being low, is that right?

#9Just spend 1 minute doing sit-up, push-up, move your hands, feet and your neck slowly every morning always make my day better if I can't afford to jog for 30 minutes in a park.
If you do jog, try to find a park (I usually do it in a park with basketball court so I can run in a square). I get the sunlight and the fresh air. Avoid the gym unless you are going to do weight-lifting.

We modified the title to make it less misleading.
