The video title is 12 minutes a week. And he said the study participants did 4 minutes a day three days a week for total of 12 minutes. Did you listen carefully to 36:02 and onward?
At 36:02 Dr Smith begins to describe the protocol. But it does not make sense. He says 20 secs hard-recover 20 sec- 20 hard then 4 minutes rest and he repeats three times more and say the total time for the day is 4 minutes. This is impossible. Did he mis-speak? Do you just repeat 4 times for a total of 4 minutes for the day?
Never mind . The text at 35:23 explains it. 4 sets of 3 x 20secs with 4 min recovery between sets.

@dougcalv I suppose that he's saying:
20 sec go hard, then recover a few seconds, then 20 hard again, recover few seconds and then one more time...
Which is basically 1 min of exercise.... and the rest is just recovering.... so I think you misunderstood what is the exercise and what is the rest.

Does Dr. Smith have a book or article on a workout routine incorporating this?
