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.
i don't think at my age i could do this HII you speak of
