I don't think it was particularly confusing. They were saying that you can maintain the same aerobic fitness using this system, and in some cases improve it. As someone has already posted, the presenter did this for a month and reduced his insulin levels, which was a problem for him, so it obviously had a benefit.
They did also advocate that our non-exercise activities are important for burning calories and that by moving, rather than sitting for an average 12 hours a day, you can burn 500 extra calories a day. Emma |

Delivery of the programme was clear and direct. Horizon is viewed as a social education programme. The message was to educate the general public. The results were backed up by the research they had carried out. BBC have to work within guidelines. It was educational. I did not learn anything new but I enjoyed the programme as it was informative. They ran the tests, backed it up with the scientific evidence. Having an active job (waitress) had actually more health gains and calorie burn than a desk job, going to the gym for an hour 3/4 x's a week. That was where they had to produce the evidence. Conclusion maybe we do not require as much Hiit to see health gains as is preceived. I am still going to exercise, mix it up and get Hiit once a week but maybe play around with it and see how it goes.
