| Editor's Note: People with bone and joint problems may not enjoy HIIT due to the heavy loading that it requires. And though HIIT is reasonably safe for people with heart problems, it's worth knowing that heart attacks are five times more likely following a HIIT workout than other types of exercise in higher risk cardiac patients. However, the benefits of any exercise often outweigh the risks, in both healthy people and those with health conditions.
Work Yes, Americans are much richer than Japanese people Now, Samo makes what I think is a major mistake here -- using GDP at market exchange rates rather than at purchasing power parity.
