Jumping cold out of your couch/chair and sprinting 5 seconds every hour, multiple times a day, sounds to me like an optimized 'quickly destroy most of your body joints' routine.

- swader999 6y agoYou can do low impact. Burpees aren't too rough.
- ddek 6y agoBurpees are actually super high impact. Done warm, let alone cold, they can cause patellar tendonopathy, back strains and hamstring strains. This paper says cycling - I’d be inclined to agree. Obviously that’s a barrier to entry, because you’d want an indoor stationary bike. On low resistance settings the risk of injury would be very low coming in cold.

- rawland 6y agoIt happened on a stationary bicycle trainer -> Low load on joints, as most of the weight rests on the saddle and handlebars.
- DrScump 6y agoThe University of Bath minimal HIIT protocol also used stationary bikes (3 20" intervals 3x/week).
- bjoli 6y agoGetting 20 inches on a stationary bike can be hard enough. (couldn't resist. I actually didn't know " ("double prime") could mean seconds.)
- neutronicus 6y agoBoth temporal and angular!
- s1t5 6y agoKeep in mind that research in sports science is biased towards equipment like bikes because they make the study so much easier - safer to use, ensure consistent form, easier to get approval for the study and there's no need to coach the participants all that much.
- covidSurvivor19 6y agoI'm more worried about repetitive stress injury from being typing and using the mouse.

- bradlys 6y agoTo me - it sounds like a great way to throw up or at least get stomach sickness. I can't imagine going full send with no warm up and not suffering some sort of issue after stopping.
- huffmsa 6y agoYour warm-up accrues though. You're doing a little bit of exercise every 12 minutes for 8 hours. You're not going to get sick.
- EForEndeavour 6y agoNitpick: the 4-second sprints weren't evenly distributed into each hour. They were done in sets of 5 with 45-second rest periods between sets.
- rustybolt 6y agoI don't know how to put this kindly, but eh... if you can't exercise for 20 seconds, you might be a bit out of shape.
- twh270 6y agoDepends on your health. I'm 50 and healthy, I can easily "full send" a 30 or 60 second sprint. I have friends my age and younger who probably can't, for different reasons.
- coldtea 6y agoWarm up for a 20 second sprint on a stationary bike? Getting on the bike would be enough warm up...
- huffmsa 6y agoYou won't be cold though, because you're doing 4sec of exercise 5 times an hour.
