ABC science series Catalyst returns this week and investigates whether you can get fit with just six minutes of exercise a week.
If you were told you could get fit with just a few minutes of exercise a week, would you believe it? It sounds too good to be true, right? But like a new drug on the market, sprint interval training promises to do just that by rapidly boosting the energy centres of your cells – mitochondria.
Each person has around ten million, billion mitochondria, around ten percent of their body weight. With mitochondrial decline linked to many of our most common chronic diseases including diabetes, cancer their function can have dramatic transformative effects on your health and fitness.
In this episode, Anja Taylor investigates the science behind low volume, high intensity training, and takes on the challenge of going from couch slouch to fighting fit, with just six minutes of exercise a week!
8pm Tuesday ABC.

SBS doco covered this topic already earlier this year quite well. Catalyst bringing something new to it?
