This is fascinating. I hate the treadmill due to the monotony of doing that for 20-20 minutes. If I could break that up into 5-minute chunks over the course of the day, it's less monotonous, for sure.

The paper behind this meagre article talks about 10-240 second bouts. The 20-60% figure is for 30sec bouts.
