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 wonder what exactly is considered medium intensity. Does that mean you're below the cardio heart range in the weight loss range?
