The Astonishing Value Of HIT And NEAT Exercise!

Last night, I saw the recording of Tuesday's episode of Horizon (link). It was VERY good! Two major points came out of it:

* 3 minutes HIT exercise (3 x 20 seconds 3x per week - flat out exercise bike was used in programme) will increase aerobic fitness and significantly improve insulin sensitivity

* avoiding sitting down (NEAT exercise) keeps calories burning and keeps the digestion of food working (the opposite is food sat in the digestive system either doing nothing or raising the fat level in the blood)
