I'm just not sure it's going to have long term effects because there just isn't enough variability There's still all sorts of positive effects it could have. For example, someone who does it, and feels better because of it, might be motivated to delve deeper into fitness. Or, it might provide very accessible "conditioning-lite" to make the experience of starting a more intensive routine more pleasant. Taken exactly as-is, repeated forever- you will absolutely plateau. But it could still have indirect positive long-term effects.
