instead of running at x pace for 60 minutes, run at 6x pace for 10 minutes.

I can't believe somebody on a poker form would think that this would work. I thought you people were smart.

First off, its near impossible for anybody to run at 6x the pace they were previously running for longer than a minute or two. Walking pace is 3-4 miles/hr. Second, for somebody that is looking to reduce weight and fat, prolonged periods of cardio is far superior than shorter periods of higher intensity. It has to do with the way your body supplies the muscles with energy. The body doesn't burn fat when you sprint.

Otherwise, good level.
