Bullshit. There isn't anything fake about it. You will get stronger, faster, and have far better cardio. But yes, you will likely also get injured.

- Alex3917 7y ago> There isn't anything fake about it. It's nowhere near the efficient frontier curve, in terms of maximizing the amount of strength / cardio / flexibility gains you make per unit work. Instead it's maximizing the amount of work you do, and any increase in fitness you experience is merely an incidental side effect.
- zarkov99 7y agoOK, that is a much more defensible thing to say. What do you think is a more efficient form of exercise then?
- Alex3917 7y agoWell there are three components of fitness (strength, endurance, and cardio), so there isn't going to be a single answer. But in general, the more boring something is the more effective it is. Just sitting on the rowing machine at 75% of your max HR for 90 min is always going to be more effective than taking a class where you are constantly going at different paces but are doing it more for entertainment rather than because you're trying to do intervals.
