I read in one of my magazines that 15 minutes of HII (High Intensity Intervals) > 45 minutes of medium intensity treadmill workout. People lost 15 times the amount of fat doing HII as compared to doing a longer workout. You need to sprint (relative term) for 30 seconds then jog (relative term) until your are breathing normally again. As you do this over a few weeks increase the sprint time by 10 seconds and decrease the jog time by 10 seconds every week.

Everyone can afford 15 minutes of HII vs 45 minutes of drudging along on the treadmill.
