Intensity reduces all types of Cancer risks.

HIIT high intensity interval training ... Tabata...no recovery exercises needed.

The(interval) regimen can be so effective that it has the potential to provide all the exercise you need in only a few minutes a week. Those minutes ,though, would not be pleasant. (Tabata training ?)

Even benign interval training helps walkers and rec. athletes.

Overload is the one abiding truth of exercise physiology.more time, more frequency, more intensity

A MET metabolic equivalent task is the amount of energy a person uses at rest. Two mets equals twice the energy used at rest. You need 500 met minutes. Ie 150 minutes of 3 met activity like brisk walking or half the amount of time on 6 met activity easy jogging.

Stumbled onto this , it appears to be a cool exercise factoid book.
