Summary

As High Intensity Exercise regimes hit the news headlines, Inside Health sceptic Dr Margaret McCartney reviews the evidence for short sharp workouts.

Plus an update on the measles outbreak in Swansea.

1:30.1

after Andrew Marr blamed his stroke on over-exertion in the gym.

1:34.5

I had been very, very heavily overworking,

1:37.6

mostly my own fault in the year before that.

1:39.8
