What he doesn`t …
What he doesn`t mention is that the studies were all very short and even then positive improvements from HIIT were only achieved in the first few weeks.
Doing it longer will only lead to platueau and burnout.
Also, the reason you shouldn`t do them more than twice a week is because high intensity training can undo aerobic adaptations that were achieved with lower intensity stuff. So while some HIIT can give you an edge, doing too much of it can make you less fit.

” Telephone …
” Telephone intervals.” Interesting idea. Sounds like a fun way to break it up. I don’t like doing intervals on some machines. For instance,…the rower. I feel trapped while doing intervals on that machine. Like if I get too tired during the interval, I’ll quit and collapse the entire workout right there. With anything else, I can just ease up a bit, but feel like I’m still completing the intervals with good intensity.

I’ve been doing …
I’ve been doing HIIT cardio for 11 years now. You build the intensity over time. You coax it along. If you build, peak, and then switch interval duration and rest periods, you can build and increase without any sort of plateauing effect. God I’ve been increasing slightly and steadily for 11 years. I can’t believe the peaks I’m able to hit nowdays. I only do it ONCE a week however. Read up on the Tabata Protocol. HIIT training for Olympic Speed Skaters.Very long study. You point is interesting.

The physically fit test question: Would you survive on a post apocolyptic earth infested by super-human mutant vampires? The day will come. Will you be prepared?

And why do anything …
And why do anything for a set time limit? It seems more productive to burn out, rest briefly, and try to burn out again. Set time limits allow people to stop when they might have been capable of more, and as the time limit grows shorter, so does the bodies desire to go all out. The same way you only really hurt to relieve yourself when the rest stop is in sight, although you have struggled to hold it in for a long time.

Started interval training, results have been awesome i’ve lost more weight and got a lot fitter in a shorter time then i expected.
Its hard at first but if you persist and hang in there then the results will come trust me it works.
