The 7 minute thing wasn't so much about time (I think that was just the sales pitch) - it was promoting the HIT (High intensity training) school of thought. Some research is pointing that, for some proportion of the population, short bursts (i.e. a few minutes) of very intense activity is either as effective or more effective than long periods spent in the gym etc. The big caveat seems to be that response to a) HIT exercise or, b) hours at the gym in general, has a genetic component to it. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-17177251 Too early to tell I guess, but it'd be really interesting to read some meta-analysis on this stuff. |
