Ken, I watched your video...a lot of valuable information there. Nice to 
put a face to the name. I know I can find lots of info about HIIT but I 
wondered if there are any books or sites that you feel would be helpful, 
not only to my sisters but for me who luckily isn't suffering from 
anything other than hypothryoidism and would like to keep it that way.
Thanks,
Stevie
