Thread: "Can three minutes of exercise a week help make you fit?"

I don't know if any of you have read this? Makes for interesting reading:

BBC News - Can three minutes of exercise a week help make you fit?

I saw that. Was really interesting to hear the theory behind it.

Thanks for posting this - it's very interesting. The catch seems to be that only certain people will benefit greatly from this form of exercise. Sure might be worth trying, though.

Watched the programme several times as I found it really interesting.. I do 3 lots of 20 second really fast jogging on the spot 2-3 times a week.. It's supposed to keep your metabolism burning for a couple of days.. as much as a full couple of hours workout would do. I do walk and swim.. but its great for in-between days .. Well worth a watch
