The workout they specified was this...3 times a week, do this workout:
- do a 5 minute warmup
- do 2 mins of intense cardio (70%-100% of perceived exersion, with 100% being ALL OUT), followed by 1 minute of slower cardio to recover
- repeat until you have done 5 of these intense intervals
- do a 5 minute cool down
Your body will be burning fat far longer afterwards than if you did 45-60 mins of cardio at a moderate intensity.

Yeah.
Thats basically a form of HIIT. Very effective, but not something everyone can do.
Everyone should though.
