The role of science is to question. It is by doing experiments that traditional thinking is challenged and sometimes overthrown. So, where does that leave widely held exercise beliefs? Claims such as:

To get maximum benefit you should do lots of moderate-intensity exercise

If you exercise you will lose weight

You should always do lengthy warm-ups before exercising

Stretching before exercise will improve your performance and reduce your risk of injury

We all get benefit from doing exercise

In Part Two we take a good, hard look at these and other claims. In the first part, Michael looks at the history and science of HIT, and his own attempts to put theory into practice. In the second part, Peta has put together a range of evidence-based FastExercise workouts, along with practical advice and tips on how to integrate HIT into your life.

We want you to be as skeptical about our conclusions as we are about others’. We have included numerous references to the scientific literature that we have drawn on so that you can make your own judgments. These studies can be easily accessed through an Internet search; most are free in their entirety; all are available as abstracts.

We owe an enormous debt of gratitude to the numerous scientists and volunteers who have devoted their time and their bodies to uncovering the truths about exercise and who have put themselves through a range of strenuous routines in the hope of discovering the optimal ways to work out.

No one size will fit all but we hope this book will give you the information you need to create an effective and enjoyable exercise regime that works for you.

This is a book for those who, like Michael, don’t enjoy exercise but who want to keep down the fat and stay healthy in the most effective, time-efficient way. It is for those, like Peta, who love exercise and want to get the most from it. It is also for those who are simply curious about themselves and who like having their preconceptions challenged. Enjoy.
