A very interesting video indeed ? but something that here at EVADE we have been saying for YEARS!!
Mounting research is showing that the ideal form of exercise isn?t related to long-distance endurance after all. Rather, short bursts of?high intensity exercise (such as Thai/Kickboxing)??has been shown to beat conventional cardio time and time again as the most effective and efficient form of exercise. It also provides health benefits you simply cannot get from regular aerobics, such as a tremendous boost in human growth hormone (HGH), aka the ?fitness hormone.?

Improve your Heart Health and Insulin Sensitivity
High intensity interval exercises offers pretty astounding benefits to your heart and risk of chronic diseases, like diabetes. A Canadian research team gathered several groups of volunteers, including sedentary but generally healthy middle-aged men and women, and patients of a similar age who had been diagnosed with cardiovascular disease. The participants were asked to undertake a program of cycling intervals as their exclusive form of exercise.
After several weeks on the program, both the unfit volunteers and the cardiac patients showed significant improvements in their health and fitness. Most remarkably, the cardiac patients showed ?significant improvements? in both heart and blood vessel functioning. And, contrary to what popular belief might dictate, the intense exercises?did not?cause any heart problems for any of the cardiac patients.
The conventional widely held belief is that the short exposure of the exercise actually helps insulate your heart from the intensity!
Equally remarkable were the results of yet another study, in which unfit but otherwise healthy middle-aged adults were able to improve their insulin sensitivity and blood sugar regulation after just two weeks of interval training (three sessions per week). A follow-up study?also found that interval training positively impacted insulin sensitivity. In fact, the study involved people with full-blown type 2 diabetes, and just ONE interval training session was able to improve blood sugar regulation for the next 24 hours! This truly is amazing, and while aerobic fitness is indeed important, improving and maintaining good insulin sensitivity is perhaps one of?the?most important aspects of optimal health.
